Thanks. Sometimes when I see a picture of him, with his soulful eyes, I still get a little choked up. Why do I grieve for someone I never knew? Perhaps I am conflating my love for the character Ennis with Heath. But then, I love Heath for his portrayal of Ennis. He truly made him alive, and now both are gone. That breaks my heart.

Here's the link to John's and my visit to 421 Broome Street today:

Thanks! I am very much looking forward to getting a canine buddy. I'm looking forward to all the activities: walking, hiking, Lure Coursing (Ridgebacks are raced like Greyhounds-for fun not money) and showing and napping. Ridgebacks love to sleep, preferably in bed with you.
I haven't had a dog for about 8 years after my last one passed (on my b-day no less). Did you notice the Mom's winning placard? The "Central Wyoming Kennel Club"! ;D
I wanted to spend the day doing something fun, rather than mope and it was a great day.

Retropian,
You're not alone.
On Heath's birthday last year I felt extremely sad, bitterly angry. This year, although the sadness was still there (to me it will never go away, he left us far too soon) I was able to celebrate his life, how lucky I am that he was and keeps on being part of my life.
Talking about dogs, I love them. Let us know when you take the puppy home with you.
