(Hat tip Dan Riehl – dammit, Dan, do you always have to be the bearer of bad news like this?  Hell, let Sissy or Jen do it OneOfTheseDays™.)
Denizens, have any of you ever read the Mark Levin book Rescuing Sprite?  If you haven’t, don’t – at least, not without about three boxes of Kleenex© within arm’s reach.  So help me Cthulu, I tell you that it will get mighty damned dusty in whatever room you happen to be at the time.
I reference this because it’s just been brought to my attention that the wonderful pup Mark’s wife & daughter got him to ease the pain of losing Sprite, has himself passed on.  Griffen was somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 years old or thereabouts.
This hits me somewhat hard – one, because I love dogs, and two, because it won’t be all that long before I have to face that journey myself.  Pup-Pup turned ten years old back in October, and even though she’s still a little ball of energy and people still can’t believe she’s not a puppy, I can tell she’s lost a step.  And it’s gonna tear my guts out when I have to say goodbye to her.  And it’s not as if I haven’t lost a pet or two before, as you guys well know.
So God bless you, Mark Levin.  I understand where you’re comin’ from, buddy.
