Another Scrup'l* goes to heaven. The Castle knows the feeling of loss engendered when you lose your Scrup'ls, and the Guard Mount knows a loss. Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance sing a soul to the Great Hunting Ground and Tennis Ball Chasing Facility. *For new Castle visitors, Scrup'ls = Dogs. And it wasn't the Castle Guard Mount who lost the Scrup'l - it was BC, The Imperial Torturer, over at the Rottweiler's place.

If there really is a heaven, I know our pets will be there waiting for us when we arrive, tail wagging and ready to play. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-41019 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-41019 Sun, 19 Feb 2006 13:53:13 -0600 RIP http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40976 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40976 Sat, 18 Feb 2006 02:49:38 -0600 They of fur and teeth and claw, Who happ'ly bow to human law, They who greet with noses wet, Subservient, but loyal yet, With us do they cast their lot, And with us in great wars they fought, When their time on Earth is done, We wish them on God's fields to run. In memory of: Nikki, a German Shepherd, Touche, a German Shepherd, Buff, a Dobie/Red Setter/Lab mix, Brandy, a Golden Lab, Brandywyne, a Shepherd Terrier mix (don't ask) and all those Scrup'ls with whom we will someday be re-united upon the Rainbow Bridge...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40975 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40975 Sat, 18 Feb 2006 01:37:51 -0600 Dear John and Beth, I'm sorry to hear that you lost a scrupple today.

Dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay here as long... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40965 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40965 Fri, 17 Feb 2006 21:21:20 -0600 Raymond - you *never* have to apologize for liking nature more than guns. I do too. Unless I'm in the middle of nature, red in tooth and claw, where a gun comes in handy. Otherwise, I'd rather take pictures of 'em. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40962 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40962 Fri, 17 Feb 2006 18:17:08 -0600 The wolf picture is great, I hate to say it but I likes it even more hean the gun pron. I love the outdoors and great pictures like this remind me of how much I love this country and how much I appreicate you guys keeping it protected and safe so we can enjoy it just like this.

My MIL lost her oldest dog a couple of weeks ago. Sweet old girl - talked to us a lot! (The dog, not Mom) By the by - have you ever been in the presence of wolves when they howl? I visited a great refuge near West Yellowstone one time, and their pack of about 20 were singing. It sends chills up your spine, lemme tell you. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40960 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/name_muffy_call_the_roll.html#comment-40960 Fri, 17 Feb 2006 18:02:17 -0600
