"Buddy, our previous dog, came into our lives when our children were still young and our days were full of pick-up times, piano lessons and soccer games. Buddy was just one part of a life jammed with caretaking responsibilities. In fact, Buddy took care of us as much as we took care of him. But we’d concluded, in the two years after Buddy died, that an empty nest was really no blessing. Sure, we could travel on impulse or work late without worrying about who would feed and walk the dog. But when we took walks by the river or hiked on our favorite trails, there was always the missing one: a dog to share them with. Mainly, we realized, we are dog people. Since Scout’s arrival, I’ve decided that we are part of a trend: empty nesters who are welcoming new life in the form of a dog." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Do you talk to your dog Sarah when you're up late at night? - Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)

"On Wednesday, in the middle of cram week, a bunch of puppies will be stationed outside the university library for students to pet and play with. The event, called "Furry Friends for Finals" is being organized by the university’s Active Minds club, which promotes mental awareness. "It has been proven that having a dog helps relieve stress, so we thought it would be a cute idea if we brought some furry friends on campus," said Jennifer Heinz, a sophomore and integrated educational studies major who helped organize the event. Heinz said her poodle-and-Maltese mix, Bindi, helps her relax. "I love my dog," she said. "Dogs are always so happy and want to play, and that helps make you happier."" - edythe from Bookmarklet

i have many times thought that this should be a business of some kind. - edythe

We grow up so fast, don't we? ^_^ - Kiyomi

I especially like the third picture in this set. While stopped at a light, Kiyomi was busy staring at the traffic while I was busy staring at the camera. I'm pretty sure she'd make a driver than me. I'm certain she'd make a better driver than Toonces the Driving Cat. - Ken & Kiyomi

Das sind tolle Aufnahmen!!! Kommt echt gut!!! - Jane Lauer

(Sorry about the double-post, deleted previous entry when "Windows 7 Preview" decided it was smarter than I am, but uploaded a corrupted jpeg) - Ken & Kiyomi

It was frigid by the lake... you were shivering, Daddy, but I liked it just fine. - Kiyomi

If it were just cold today, I think I could have tolerated it better. It was cold and there was a stiff breeze blowing over the lake. I kept my sweatshirt tight and my hood up for most of our "walk" (run). Autumns and Winters, I wish I had the thick double-coat of a Sheltie. I envy you, Kiyomi. - Ken & Kiyomi

Cute! - Keiko Yamada

Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! I love my family... and I am loved. - Kiyomi

"You can memorialize a dearly departed pet in several different ways, but few allow you to keep Mr. Fluffypants as close to your heart as these wearable gems, which are created using the carbon captured from his remains. Not one but several companies are offering grieving pet owners the opportunity to immortalize their animal companions as jewelry. Despite the morbid undertones, it’s a trend that’s rapidly gaining popularity in Japan. But here’s the rub: The portable memorials might be better for the planet, too. DNA2Diamonds is just one of the outlets touting its conflict-free, environmentally responsible personal diamonds. The carbon extracted from a lock of hair or cremated ashes is subjected to the same process of extreme heat and pressure that squeezes carbon into naturally occurring diamonds. And because the rocks are made in a lab, instead of mined, they don’t carry the same baggage as “blood diamonds” do. Eternal rest set in stone does not come cheap, however—expect to pay upwards of $3,000 for the gem alone." - Rachel Lea Fox from Bookmarklet

I would totally do this if I could for the dog I grew up with. - Cyrus Lendvay
