My Best Friend
If ever I loved a friend it was him. Cant remember what it was like before him, and dont know what It'll be like now that he is gone. I hope he'll be there waiting for me when I leave this place.
God I miss him, and take care of him.
THE BEST PLACE TO BURY A DOG
"There is one best place to bury a dog. If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you when you call - come to you over the grim, dim frontier of death, and down the well-remembered path, and to your side again. And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel, they shall not growl at him, nor resent his coming, for he belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing. The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master."
--- Ben Hur Lampman ---
from the Portland Oregonian Sept. 11, 1925
