Lagniappe 2001-2010

What does it say about you when you meet a guy and his dog in cyberspace and grow to feel like you actually know them? 

Then the dog develops a painful, crippling disease and you go through it with his guy. 

Then you spend all Sunday morning alternately sniffling and weeping.

Farewell, Lagniappe.  Have fun running and tussling with other dogs until your buddy gets there to join you.  Be sure to have some ice cream and popcorn on hand.

  1. Thanks, from me, and on behalf of Lagniappe.

  2. "What does it say about you when you meet a guy and his dog in cyberspace and grow to feel like you actually know them?"

    It says you are the kind of person I'm proud to consider a "friend I haven't yet met." It affected me the same way - I feel as if I've lost my own furry best friend.

    I certainly hope heaven is full of hedgies.

  3. Maybe Lagniappe and my Fritzi Ritz will meet up and chase Frisbees all day and eat popcorn at night. I like to think so.

  4. You're most welcome, Me. I'll miss him, too.

    Back atcha, Scott. I've been extra kind to my pups today.

    I shall think of the Lagniappe, Fritzi Ritz, and our Wendy romping and snacking, too, Buck.

  5. What it means is that you give a damn. About animals...and their people.
