Late last night we found out about the memorial service for our nephew, Zach. It will be on Saturday, the 6th. We will find closure there. Closure will help things to ease up. I look forward to celebrating Zach's life. I honestly don't look forward to more tears though.
We don't have much say in keeping up with the dogs. The lady who owns the Rescue is just so busy with the dogs that she doesn't have much time to put in to updating previous 'owners'. We ask all the time about the dogs that went to permanent homes and we rarely hear anything. Oh well. At least we know they are happy.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
