Showing respect for Scooter

A friend of mine shared the following thinking with me, and I asked her permission to further share it. I thought it was really touching and insightful:

You get told "It's just a dog" and you end up feeling strange because it impacts you emotionally. But your grief shows respect for Scooter and her place in your life. It would be far sadder to die and have no one grieve.

Faster, more-powerful iPhones with new whiz-bang features, such as -- perhaps -- video conferencing. Release dates for version 3.0 of the iPhone software and version 10.6 of the Mac OS ("Snow Leopard")... and perhaps more...
