Thanks for sharing, Carolyn. My favorite line in that, the one I relate most to, is: "the peace in being free to have a dog as my best friend." That is freedom, peace is freedom. While watching this, I also thought of Shirley McWilliams. She was aging so happily with her beloved dogs. We never know what the future holds. Play nice, everyone.
