Thank you

I’ve discovered a few things since Banjo died Saturday night:

1. I miss him more than I ever thought I would.

2. People are amazingly kind and decent.

3. That little dog touched a lot of people’s hearts.

I’ve been amazed, touched and lifted up by all the phone calls and messages I have received.  My family has read everyone them and they have helped us remember our funny little four-legged friend.  I recently lost my brother-in-law, one of the bravest and finest men I’ve ever known.   That loss was devastating to our family. Banjo’s loss was just a kick when we were already down.

But life will go on.  We were offered a chance to adopt a beautiful little dog who looks very much like Banjo (he needs a home).  And we’ve been offered a couple more pups who need good homes, too.  Unfortunately, it’s just not a good time for us to take on another pup. We will soon, though. Our house is too quiet without one around.

Thank you to everyone for your kindness.  Just when I start to really suspect the decency of the world, people like you step up to the place and restore my heart.  Banjo would give you kisses and tail wags if he could.
