I've already told Kay about this, but wanted you all to know too.

As Mark and I were reading your posts, Bon was standing here at our feet trying to wipe his dirty dinner mouth on us He's definitely silly and we think that's exactly the reason that Angus sent him to us...to make us laugh and smile.
Thank you for all the nice remarks, it actually was a nice day.

I haven't shared this with anyone but Robin yet, but one of the reasons that I feel I'm able to handle his passing more is that on Friday I received something in the mail.
I had entered his picture in a calendar contest. Well I had actually forgotten about it until a package was at our door Friday when I got home. I had no idea what it could be and when I opened it there was this lovely letter...

Dear Anna Adkins,

Congratulations! I'm delighted to inform you that you are a winner in the Dogs Calendar Contest. your winning entry will appear in the 365 Dogs Color Page-A-Day Calendar for 2006.

Your photograph of Angus makes a wonderful contribution to the calendar and will appear on Tuesday, November 7, 2006

I'm especially happy to enclose a complimentary copy of the calendar, which I hope you'll enjoy all year long.

Best wishes for the coming year.

This was the picture...
And the caption says...
"Angus urges everybody to get out today and vote. With this massive rottie monitoring his hometown polling place, it's a sure thing there won't be any voting irregularities in Piqua, OH. Angus's owner is Anna Adkins.



Now tell me, is that a sign or what?! I just felt like a heavy weight was lifted from me. I think it was his sign to me telling me I could move on and not be so sad when I think of him
