Shadow was my dog. a kind of large flat coated retriever mutt thing from adopt a pet. all black, and kind of menacing looking, but the friendliest dog i have known. the kind of dog that just wanted attention. he would pass up food to be petted. always putting his head under your hand to get you to pet him.
my wife was really attached to him. he was her personel jogging companion every day.
today, Easter Sunday, i get a message on my answering machine after comming home from work, that my dog was dead, and sitting in someones front yard. he was kind enough to pick my dog up off the sidewalk and put him in a wheelbarrow and ice him down untill i can come get him in the morning. how many people do you know that would do that?
i loved my dog, and i will miss him.
you have known my passions, and now you know my pain. i hope your Easter was better than mine.
