"Situations simply do not yield to the most likely structures of the mind. A 'self-addressed envelope,' if you are inclined to brood, raises deep questions of identity. Such an envelope, immutably itself, is always precisely where it belongs. "

- Renata Adler from Speedboat

Losing my dog caused me unending sadness, but I still look at pictures of him, including this puppy picture where he looks like a stuffed animal.

Walter was rescued off a farm where he was sleeping in the barn. He was the smartest dog I ever met and everyone seemed to love him. I always thought he was a lab mix, but late in his life I had his DNA done and he was Basset Hound/ Chow/ German Shepard. He's a got a little crater named after him on mars (you could do that for a while).

I could go on and on, but I won't. We had 15 years never being apart, before he died suddenly in my arms on Christmas morning.

Happy International Dog Day, I'm not sure how much that's a celebrated event but it's always good to remember love.
