Thank you Mike.  It is so true.  My son and his dog are often so close they could be one person/dog.  Right now, they are on the love seat together.  Thomas was devestated one year ago by the loss of his first dog, Jack and I thank God every day because my sister and brother in law gave us Luke in January.  It saved Thomas' life.  So, please keep senmding us jokes and funny stories, you never know who you are going to touch!!!  Bobbie
