This was going to be a happy post..............

I am in London as I write this. I was going to
write up an account on my adventures. But when I got up this
morning I had a voice mail from home.

You guessed it, bad news. Our youngest dog Rita, broke out of the
yard and was hit by a car. My poor house sitter had to call
me here to tell me our pup was dead. I have been able to make arrangements
for Rita. But it is going to be very hard to do without her.
She was only eleven months old.

Thanks for your posts

I really appreciate all your kind posts.
I'm responding to you all here because the
internet access is iffy.


We are flying back home in the morning.
12 hours from now, in fact. In spite of everything it will
be good to be home.
