I don't think one ever gets over losing a four-legged family member, you just adjust and go on with wonderful memories.<br /><br />Gautami, Max's book cover is cute. It makes you wonder what he's up to. Happy New Year to you and your family too.<br /><br />Margot, thanks for the kind words. I'm learning a new appreciation for children's books through the eyes of wanting my young cousins to enjoy reading as much as I do.
