As some of you know from the Redwoods Revisited gathering this weekend, I had to put my camping buddy down due to a lengthy illness.
She entered my life as an abandoned 3 month old puppy on Sept. 15th 1990, and departed on Sept. 15th 2005. I never realized just how much one can become attached to a dog until I faced the loss of Heidi ("Dawg"), it's been a tough week that became much easier to deal with by spending the weekend with some of the greatest friends anyone could ask for.
I want to thank each and everyone one of you from the redwoods gathering for being the great group of people that you are.
