Some sad news...

I just found out this evening that my first girlfriend, Gracie, was crossing the Rainbow Bridge today. When I was just a young pup, my dog nanny would walk us together and Gracie taught me how to be a well-behaved, polite young pup. She'd never bite at me or growl, just lift a lip when I'd get out of line. She was a sweet old black and tan shepherd/collie mix. Please say your prayers for her Mommy tonight as I know she will feel as if a part of her heart is missing. And then give your people a snuggle and think that Gracie is now running around like a young pup once again. 

'Til we meet again...say goodnight, Gracie.

Run like the wind, Miss Gracie!
