Tissue Time

Maybe it's because I have a nephew-in-law in the Army who's a dog lover, who's re-deploying to Iraq this month. Maybe it's because our beloved elderly four-legged neighbor Charlie the pointer -- Charlie who visited us multiple times each day for dog biscuits and pats on the head, even in these last weeks when he was so doddering and confused that he sometimes couldn't remember where he was or why he was here -- finally crossed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. But I'm sitting here alone in the office, sniffling over this video. Hat tip to Andrew Sullivan -- follow the link.
