Doggy quote of the month for September

“In his grief over the loss of a dog, a little boy stands for the first time on tiptoe, peering into the rueful morrow of manhood.  After this most inconsolable of sorrows there is nothing life can do to him that he will not be able somehow to bear.”

– James Thurber, cartoonist, (1894 – 1961)
