Dogs on the mind

Sometimes, you can't fight off the sadness.

I'm at the Tiger's Tale in Montgomery for a holiday get-together and I find myself talking with my friend Charles about dogs — about our plan to adopt a pup (or two) in January, and the dogs we lost.

The conversation reminds me just how much I still miss my dog Honey, and how much after so many years our big hairy mutt, Benny, remains a presence.

Dogs dig in and take over the heart.
