I've always been fond of Jack Jones' Wives & Lovers.
I realize I have been remiss in conveying some sad news. Tewkesbury, our foundling pup, that has been with us for several years had to be put down last week. About a year and a half ago, he had been diagnosed with incurable kidney disease. He defied the predictions and, for a long time, was the healthiest dying dog around...even though he was on a special diet and getting fluids twice a week (these last few months three times a week). But it was obvious, in these last weeks, he was slowing down. After a rather horrible night, where he was in great pain that no medication seem to quell, we made the fateful decision to spare him any further suffering. The doctor came to the house and gently spirited him away. The next day, we had him cremated and his ashes now reside in our pet shrine next to all our other beloved pets who've passed on. RIP, Tewkes!
