in fact i was saying to charlie yesterday walking up harper looking at her fresh haircut that something's going on with people, that people are going crazy, falling apart, killing and dying, but don't worry charlie we'll take care of you. i saw richard sitting in the window looking out like benny used to when i came to get him for walks, and i wondered if richard was still doing the lonesome midnight walks for benny. we do carry candles. the animals are the center of our lives and i hope we realize and light the candle in our heart daily and carry it on our walks while they're still alive, and after.
