Karyn, Thank you for sharing. Okay, I'll confess. I'm putting off actually reading it until I have time to give it more than a quick read -- and = until I have time for a good, long cry. /smile/ I feel I knew Met from your posts during those final months with him, and I actually miss him at = times. Just as I now feel I know Thane. Whenever I see a young herding dog, I always smile thinking how much like Thane... Which is funny, because = the English shepherd put Clyde whom we first met about the time Ridge = introduced his Clyde, really reminds me of Thane. Except for when he does things = that make thing of something Ridge has said about Clyde... /smile/ Our playground crew now has a cockapoo pup who is totally a mini-Mitsy = of a year ago, only not so curly. It's like watching Mitsy puppy play, then taking Mitsy dog home. /smile/ Mitsy dog likes the little guy and will play with him, but seems very bemused by his antics. Cracks me up.

It could never contain everything Met is/was to me but it says a good bit = about who we were what we became. I am going to give both links here- the first is a nongraphic link. The second link has the same text but also has several tables filled with pictures which may be hard with screen-readers but I know we have some sighted list members so thought I would share both of them. Beware of the major Kleenex warning... please understand I am OK. This = set me free a bit more to do this. http://www.pawsitively-k9.com/nongraphic/legend_ng.html http://www.pawsitively-k9.com/met_legend.html Karyn and Thane
