My condolences to you and your family on the loss of Charlie. Charlie looked like a handsome dog. My Frantz had to be put to sleep a couple weeks back. Your closing sentence "We will miss you Charlie but you will always be with us." is very true. Like you I feel Frantz is still with us when I look at the step he could barely climb when we first got him to when I eat a banana knowing he loved those immensely. Cherishing those precious things are so important.</p><p>My friend sent me this passage from the chapter "Passports" in A Useful Dog by Donald McCaig:</p><p>"Moose died here, where twelve years ago he was born and he's buried in the graveyard on the hill where I hope to be buried someday...We carried him to his grave on his sheepskin bed and set his letter underneath. My wife, Anne, writes a letter for every one of our dogs and I have never asked her what she writes. She says it's a passport and I like to think of Moose coming to the last river he will ever cross and offering the boatman his letter, 'Oh, yes, I was a very good dog.'</p><p>"But it may be, it just may be - all our dogs waiting on the far side of the river that Anne and I must one day cross - those letters may not be dogs' passports. They may be ours."</p>r0b3rtaTue, 06 Oct 2009 23:12:02 -0000
