That is exceptional, Lorell. It is a privilege to see the work of a master.
I'll be absent for a while.
We lost Pippin today.
He had been slowing down quite a bit recently and became quite lethargic the past 4 or 5 days; nothing seemed to energize him - he even stopped barking at the mailman. He hadn't eaten on over 3 days. And over the weekend his breathing was sometimes erratic and he experienced occasional full body twitches.
He was still fully mobile and there was no indication that he was in any pain, but it became clear that he was nearing the end of his days. Today the vet agreed and Pippin passed peacefully, surrounded by those whom he loved and who loved him.
Pippin was a rescue dog and he had a tough act to follow, coming after our first Westie Guinness. But the little guy quickly won our hearts, and he will be missed.
I'm reminded of two of my favorite quotes about dogs:
Be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
A dog is the only creature that will love you more than he loves himself.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
