I'm a writer with four novels and more than two dozen short stories published. The best known is probably my novel China Mountain Zhang. A collection of my short stories, called Mothers and Other Monsters, was published by Small Beer Press in July '05.

Eat Our Brains The brain child of Steve Gould.
Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.

And a wise friend once told me "Nothing loves you like a Golden Retreiver" and Smith lived up to that statement and then some. I'll miss her, too. She was the cutest, roly-est poly-est puppy I've ever seen. - Michelle
I'm so sorry, Maureen. Smith was totally great. I'm also glad you didn't have to make a decision about putting him to sleep.
Maureen,
I'm sorry to hear this. You have my sympathy.
I too live with the memory of an unforgettable Golden Retreiver. His name was Milo. My nephew Brian raised and trained him for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Milo loved guiding so much that he would come into the living room and grab someone gently by the arm and take them out into the back yard to lead around. He was valedictorian of his guide dog class.
It was a sad day for us when he went to serve with his blind person but he brightened the world of a man blind from diabetes.

Oh I'm so sorry.
Maureen,
I'm so sorry for you.

I'm so sorry, Maureen. I hope you have 13 years' worth of wonderful memories to bring you comfort.
I'm so sorry. Smith was a great dog, and I'll always imagine him standing at the sliding door, waiting for cows.
Sympathies, Maureen. This is particularly poingnant because we had a scare with one of our cats this weekend. (Hid under the bed for two days and wouldn't eat or drink, but is now okay. Maybe was just on a diet?)
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. :(
Dear Maureen, you have my sympathies. It's terrible to lose a faithful and loving companion. Much love. Maura
Oh, Maureen, I'm so sorry. Every time you posted a picture of her, my heart just melted. She seemed like such a sweetheart.
I'm sorry I never got to meet her, Maureen. Hang in there.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Maureen. Hugs to both you and Bob...
Oh no Maureen. I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
This makes me feel horrible that I told my wife we were too busy for a dog...
I'm sorry for your loss!
Oh, Maureen. I was so sad to read this. I send you hugs and many good good-dog thoughts. We are so lucky to have them while they're here.
I'm so sorry, Maureen. That hasn't happened in my life for many years, but I remember how tough it was. Such perfect companions for such little time is hard to deal with, some days.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Smith, I'm sure, was a Good Dog indeed.
I join the others in offering you my sincerest sympathies. I've lost a couple of golden retrievers over the years, and it is truly profound. They're the closest thing to a pure good we ever get to see.
I'm sorry, Maureen. Smith was a good dog.
l.
gulp. :<
I am so sorry, I am crying as I write this Alex and I lost our beloved Yang in July. He held out for one more visit from his boy. I feel your emptiness, but I also know it will ease in time. I hope you remember the funny times, and they sooth your soul. I'll always remember Smith in the wig on this page. The nights at your house and the cow watchig.
with deepest of sympathy,
Lawrence
Oh, I'm so sorry. My sister just had to put down her beloved dog of seven gazillion years, and I just found out that my German Shepherd Frodo has outlived all of his siblings, so I'm counting the days.
Pets just wreck me.
