This was a person who I felt really knew me and understood me, but more than that she validated who I was. All that from reading her Pack of Two . After I read Logan's copy, I asked for and received a copy of my own for Christmas.

I just checked it out and Lucille came from the Animal Rescue League in downtown Boston. I think I will send my donation to that organization.

Forty-two years is too short a life for someone who had so much to offer. And poor Lucille. I envision Caroline Knapp at the RB waiting for her Lucille. She'll have all our RB kids to keep her company. Something tells me they will all get along famously.
