All Saints and Souls

In the fall, when the leaves in the northeast turn yellow and red, and are tossed by the wind and rain to the ground, I miss my dogs more acutely. They loved the leaves swirling and the bite in the air. They glowed in the autumn light. They lifted my heart even as the days grew short and the darkness long. 

So, in their honor and memory, and for every one of you who has been loved by a dog, here is Wendy Francisco's perfect dog song.

Sonya 10/31/1978 - 3/8/1990.   

Shekinah  5/1/1991 - 9/15/2004.   

Shadow  4/28/1993 - 8/9/2006.

Masters, all, of the art of being fully alive. "Amen, bow wow".
