- Thanks Stephen, that's a very nice thought.
-
- It does bring to mind what happened when my parents' dog died earlier this
- year. (Brandy and MaiTai spent much of their puppy- and kitten-hood together.)
-
- My folks are religous (in the old fashioned, non-obnoxious way). Dad is also
- an old style, show-no-emotion type of man. Mom saw that he was deeply hurting
- over Brandy's death and tried to comfort him by saying that Brandy was in
- 'dog heaven' now. To which my father angrily replied "Forget it! If she
- isn't in people heaven, I'm not going."
-
- Come to think of it, it does make a comforting picture to think of
- Brandy and MaiTai together again.
