Reading this in CO, time is 11:20am. Thought about my rule with these essays, but the title was funny and so I happily engaged. As tears began rolling down my cheeks remembering little Santino I began to think about my dog who passed (at 18) and went into inconsolable hysterics. After attempting to get it together, I realized that part of the waterworks was coming from my memories of a younger and more carefree time in my life, including the birth - toddler years of my son. Having to say goodbye to that as well as the dog was and is hard. But as always thank you for your magical stories - I will move on with my vacation now :-)

Loved it! Our Diego Rivera is more than 17 and don’t want to even think about the day he won’t be here. Dogs are humans, if you like humans you love dogs (some of them, same as humans)
