    I was so sorry to read about your recent loss. Our boy is 13.5 years old and has had to put up with quite a bit since we added kids (girl 3 years old, boy/girl twins 1 year old) He is still going strong but getting slower. Sounds like Max had a great life. Thanks for sharing her with us.

    Thank you. Even if I’d have liked her to have more years with us, those she had were wonderful, and it was an honor to be her human companion/pack leader. I could do worse than to be as patient and forgiving as her. May you and your own sweetie(s) enjoy all the time you have together.

    We will all really miss Maxi. She really stood for peace and love and wonderful sweetness. I’m glad you will be able to tell the new little peanut that he had the chance to have his bald head loved and licked by her before she flew off to doggie playland where there are endless places to run and scraps galore.

    These could be age-progression photos of our 5-year-old still-a-puppy Lab/hyper bunny rabbit mix, coincidentally named Polly and also sweet beyond belief. I’m a fan via lizawashere, and a content lurker until now, but wanted to express my condolences for a huge loss. You’ve expressed your grief with both aching and beauty, a wonderful tribute for your Maxie.

    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
