In reply to Don Ironside. Our dog, Bj looked just like your guy and went almost the same way. Baked goods was his love. I miss him so much. I swear I sometimes hear him sigh as he did after laying down.

Thank you. I lost my 18 yr old Michael Francis, Italian greyhound, 2 years ago. I am still seeing him in so many places we go and things we do. He was the best little buddy I had. He loved camping and riding in our RV. He loved watching horses at the various horse shows we attended. When I feel wind I think about Mikey, he is running like the wind.

After the loss of our last elderly Heeler, I thought it would be best to be “dogless” for a bit…until a friend aimed me at a wonderful shep/boxer girl looking for a new home as her aging adopted parents were going to be traveling in a motor home and didn’t feel they could provide her with adaquate exercise. “Rosie” came to live with us, and with her came our promise to her Mom to share a banana every night at bedtime…and we kept that promise until she left for The Bridge. I never, ever see a banana that I don’t just remember, but wish with all my heart, that we could share our treat just once more. Thanks for posting this again, even as your “Bananas Make Me Cry” again!

In reply to Don Ironside. I am so sorry for your loss. I have the same kind of love for my Wyatt, a greyhound/sharpie mix. He is 13 and starting to show his age. There is nothing better than a love like this. My eyes were leaky reading your tribute to Dylan.

In reply to Kathleen Rushing. Thank you for your kind words! I would be delighted if you shared this piece with your class. I am a sporadic writer -- I appreciate your encouragement. I find that the more passionate and genuine I am about my subject, the better my writing.
