I don't know if this is the place for this, but I need to share. Last evening I had dinner with this wonderful woman that I have known only for a few years. She has cancer but is such a trooper that a lot can be learned from her.

We left the restaurant and I asked where she was parked and should I walk her to her car.
She mentioned that she had her dog with her in the car and was going to walk him.

Well THAT DID IT! I was walking her to her car - frankly, to meet her dog.

His name is "Little Bits" because he is exactly that - a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Small, possibly Pomeranian, maybe some Jack Russell, but absolutely adorable. And she thanked me for walking her to her car. Right!! I wanted to play with her dog. I was rewarded with a lick on the cheek (by the dog, not the woman).

Animals - what kind of life would it be without them?
