For All My Friends,

Human and Nonhuman

�There is nothing on this earth

More to be prized,

Than true friendship.�

St. Thomas Aquinas

Hanging out with friends

Is often the best method

To chase away blues

And it matters not

Who or what these friends may be

As long as they�re friends

Friends who will listen

Sympathize with your troubles

And be there for you

Such a friend as this

Is worth far more than riches

To any creature

I agree with a lot of what you say here, Eddie.
And I am quite addicted to The Den...because of the

This was a nice tribute...and a darling graphic, too!
