Thought for the Day


"I came to realize that a life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty, in return for the lavish life God has devolved upon me, to help others He has placed in my path. This is my highest and best use as a human. Faith is not believing that God can--it is knowing that God will". Ben Stein


"Out of Sorts"

Our two dogs...Dash and Nipper..are really having a hard time with Drew's death. They have been totally out of sorts the last few days. Every evening, we let them in our sun room (they are generally outside dogs) to lay in Jerry and my laps for "special time". They nap and are at peace. I'm sure they are grieving too. I find myself having a wave of emotion at really odd times for that old gal.

Drew may have been a dog, but she was a member of your family, and a sister to Dash and Nipper. It will take a while to adjust to not having her around, but the good memories of all the fun and love she gave you will be there forever. Drew - Dash and Nipper,too - are lucky to be part of the Foster family!
