I just couldn’t resist — here’s Whit, recently returned from his adventures in being lost, followed by his day at the Doggy Spa (note the sporty new bandanna!):
Aaaahhh…
And now, back to reading mystery stories for my upcoming anthology and worrying about the bleak state of human nature from those stories… There’s a reason I waited ’til last to read these. (Some good stuff in there, just a little overwhelming to read ’em all at once).

Thanks! He’s much tougher than he looks, too. The Wonder Pup has been through a LOT.

I know your heart was in your flipflops, thinking he might be gone forever. There’s a dog-sized puzzle piece in your heart and when it’s gone, the resultant hole leaves you sad and misshapen.
At least, that’s how I feel, without Jasmine to trip over in the mornings, greeting me at the door in the evenings and generally being part of the family.

Thanks, Sarah. I know we’ll all feel how you just described it when Whit is gone, for good. Hope he has a few more good years left! He’s a tough fella.
