Today's Quote: "You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us."
~ Robert Louis Stevenson, author Agreed. One of my grand dogs died while we were in Maine. My daughter's boyfriend was taking care of Leila and he called to say she wasn't eating and her breathing was off. My daughter came home to stay with her dog, taking her to the vets the next morning. The vet said she had cancer; there was nothing they could do. She was a lovely old golden. I will miss her.
