Augie, You teared up while writing your tribute and I teared up while reading it. What a wonderful account of bonding in the golden years. What a wonderful testament to adopting an older companion. Thank you for giving Amber a chance. I know she thanked you over and over during the time you and she shared. I bet she has a big Golden smile on her face as she waits patiently at Rainbow Bridge and somehow knows we are talking about her.
