I listened to the audio and thought it was amazing.<br /><br />Yeah, not much time for blogging these days. Had some family visiting from Durham, NC last weekend and we're hosting a dinner party on Saturday, so I've been busy getting ready for that. I'm still hoping to catch up on my reviews, but we'll see. I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water (with regard to blogging... life is good).<br /><br />Loved your pics from Toronto! I'll be back to that post to comment later this weekend.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-14036864005570401862014-08-18T13:10:50.038-07:002014-08-18T13:10:50.038-07:00I didn't realize that Edgar Sawtelle was a dog...I didn't realize that Edgar Sawtelle was a dog story. I did read Racing in the Rain but as blogging friend James Chester noted a few weeks ago, dog stories generally don't end well. I'm not a dog lover (Lexi was a great dog but I tolerated her) and much prefer cats (I will call to cats outside), but I do believe that dogs are very special. I'm sure one day we'll get another dog for the girls. <br /><br />You've been quiet lately, huh? Just catching up since before my Toronto trip... ;)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-16522055328896581372014-08-10T13:26:49.616-07:002014-08-10T13:26:49.616-07:00How old is Henry?

She's still getting around quite well for an old gal, but I know her time with us is only a few more years. I'm so sorry Henry is struggling. We are indeed blessed by their companionship, aren't we?Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-19993380584748922772014-08-09T18:06:05.646-07:002014-08-09T18:06:05.646-07:00Yes.

And now he is near the end of his life,stumbling and falling, and it's so sad to think of life without him.
