This has been a bad couple of years.

Lots of friends have lost their companions. And now Brigid has lost Barkley. Go and give her some love.

Partner’s Johan and Wolfgang. Gary’s Emerson. Mr B’s Schmoo. All gentle creatures and wonderful companions, all dogs I would shed blood for if need be.

Barkly was the very measure of a Dog, the embodiment of unbridled joy. The world is colder without him in it. We who knew him were privileged to have spent time in his company.

I will see you again, someday, Barkley. Meanwhile, keep a spot on the couch warm for us.

Yeah, this is about how much coffee I’m gonna need

to get through today

I wonder if I can get that much java in me without popping?
