Pupper!

You never forget your first girl....In Michael's case his first girl arrived to his house in 1998....

It was love at first sight!!!!

Tess became very sick with cancer.  An operation in 2009 bought her some time but by last summer it was clear that she wouldn't be with us much longer.  We had this picture taken to celebrate her life.  But this is the way I think we all will always think of her.

"The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's."

-- Mark Twain

I suppose we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better. They go through their lives with no fear or shame, and for all their marvelous instincts, they appear to know not about death. Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying.

--Doug Kass

God Speed Pup!
