Juliette

We called her Juliette because we got her, as a puppy, from a farm outside Verona, Illinois. I know, obscure joke, but the play Romeo & Juliet is set in Verona, Italy.



She lived into her dog nineties, 13 plus in human years, but a serious illness finally caught up with her. We had to put her down a few days ago.

Juliette was a friendly girl
unless you happened to be a squirrel.

Very sorry. I think dogs share our emotional intelligence, but have purer hearts. Makes it hard to see them go.

Thank you, Charlie. I know what you mean. There is great loyalty, and little deceit, in their natures.
