Thanks, Fernando. We should all strive to be the men our dogs think we are.

Very sorry for your loss. Last summer my dog was very sick for several weeks. He almost didn’t make it. Terrible time.

Don’t blame yourself. Dogs are temerarily careless and happy. That makes them what they are. But also prone to accidents. I’m fully sure that Rufie could not have asked for a better friend than you.

Rufie left a lot of smiles in his wake. Sad that he drowned. A shitty way to die.

I’m reminded me of the story of Reagan when his favorite horse died. When asked why he was smiling during the burial, he replied, “I’m thinking about all the good times we had together.”

Hope your day has been one of smiles as well.

I read that people plant something on top of a pet’s home grave,- a little tree or perennial plant. That way, when the roots reach down there, the decomposition is a good fertilizer, and you’ll have part of him back on the tree.

Funny thing is that our Lab seems to be in mourning also. She seems very sad and misses Rufie.

I guess dogs are way smarter than we think. I know Rufie was smarter than 90% of the people I know.

Thanks, William.

Lovely memoir JLM. Thank you for sharing.
