ours is not to reason why. who said that? well, we're not rational beings, or is it logical. both and.  anyway bear and i have 17 more walks and then nothing, no more walks ever. and i wonder if she'll miss me. i know lulu would and i know her family knows too. but bear, if she does, i'll never hear about it, unless by chance i see her. i remember after heidi and i got stopped she would run wild circles around me every time we met. oh well ours is not to reason why. who said that? alfred, lord tennyson? no that's not it what i mean. not at all! it's just we are not in control of what we think or do let alone other people who don't think of us. 

be that as it may if i have one dog remaining i'm glad it shall be lulu.
