It sounds like she had a happy life. Last summer we said goodbye to our longtime family member and dog Lakota, so you have our sympathies as well. Saw a book yesterday at the store: "The Art of Racing in the Rain"by Garth Stein. The book is from the dog's perspective and his name is Enzo. He watches alot of TV, among other things. Here is a quote from Enzo from the book,<BR/><BR/>“In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills so people cannot walk on his grave. The dog's master whispers into the dog's ear his wishes that the dog will return as a man in his next life. Then his tail is cut off and put beneath his head, and a piece of meat or fat is placed in his mouth to sustain his soul on its journey; before he is reincarnated, the dog's soul is freed to travel the land, to run across the high desert plains for as long as it would like. <BR/><BR/>I learned that from a program on the National Geographic channel, so I believe it is true. Not all dogs return as men, they say; only those who are ready. <BR/><BR/>I am ready.” <BR/><BR/><BR/>all the best,<BR/>Jim and Robin McGlynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
