george, i'm shocked to hear this about kelsey. i've always enjoyed your photos of her. i'm so sorry.

this pretty much sums up to a tee what she said to me last february in solvang about her situation. i could only come away amazed. reading about her saying it in her posts was one thing; talking to her in-person was an entirely different matter.

damn...i started wondering about her, too. at solvang in 2008 i took pictures of her miles (seen here trying to speak at the friday night pizza dinner, months before he fell ill): i think i sent her those pictures of miles. we promised to look for each other for solvang 2009. i finally met her, her husband, and clark at friday's night pizza dinner. i got one shot of her and clark (she's on the right): i told her we were thinking of bringing sadie and katie to solvang in 2010. she said she hoped to meet them. i regret that that won't happen. she was such a nice person, a pleasure to chat with, and was so matter-of-fact about her illness. she'll be missed.

hi, michele! steve here...

welcome to GT! i'm in torrance.

sorry to read of your loss, praveen.

welcome home, java bean! and congrats to you, adrienne.

our sadie says "hi" to your sadie: ...and katie says "hi", too (she's behind sadie).

happy birthday, nik! the cookie i left atop your box of ashes in remembrance of you this morning i'll break in half this evening and give to sadie and katie (assuming the kittehs don't get it first ). it's my little way to let you know we're always thinking of you.

i like the name "arrow". welcome and "hi" from torrance.

i'm sorry about your losing romeo.

she's such a beautiful girl. i'm sorry for your loss.

i have a hard time reconciling that bodhi's stay hardly started before it ended. i'm so sorry about this.

i'm very sorry to read of your losing isis.

robin, i'm sorry. rest well, polli, and be at peace.

robin, i've read your running accounts of both polli and beau. it pains me deeply to read this now about her. you have tried your utmost to do right by her and will continue to do so -- of that i have no doubt.

i met dr. couto last saturday night in solvang and came away so impressed. i really bothered me when he mentioned the lack of funds that his program is experiencing.

i'm sorry to read of your losing carrie. she is beautiful, indeed.

i'm sorry to read of your loss.

those of you who are long-time subscribers to celebrating greyhounds magazine may remember this photo on the back cover of the spring 1999 issue: left to right: alex, daughter rachel, nikki

today, it'll be six years since you left. six years...already? yet to our hearts and minds it hasn't been six years -- it feels as if it was yesterday. your favorite white teddy bear sits atop a bookcase, adorned with your last collar, tags, and leash -- and now it wears nikki's last collar, tags, and leash, too. so you and nikki are always where we can see you both. you were, are, and always will be close to our hearts. you will always be the first.

she was way, way too young. i'm sorry to read of your loss.
