THE SPAN OF LIFE
The old dog barks backward without getting up.
I can remember when he was a pup.
~Robert Frost
This story is dedicated to the memory of my dog, Buddy, my best friend for half of my life.

Every time I look at this photo I laugh. I loved him so much, but really...have you ever seen such a ridiculous-looking puppy?
My friend Kelly called him "the flying nun dog".

This is my favorite picture of Buddy, taken about a year and a half before he died. It still hangs on my refrigerator.
He's just so happy in this photo and whenever I see it, I have to smile...just like he is. That's his all-time favorite toy between his paws.
