This is to mark the sad passing of a dog with noble heart and spirit, lovely Duet, two months beyond her fifteenth birthday. A dog who liked clam chowder, who was known to levitate on the cliffs over the ocean at Half Moon Bay; in whom the notion of play was amazingly advanced—yet who loved her quiet hours with the best of us. A dog I shall always remember as a favorite friend, a fellow being full of love who brightened every day she encountered, and whose reaction to the world was often as not joy in every bone. We shall dearly miss her.

Cheers Duet. I love thinking of how you used to gently test each backyard tomato for ripeness, two small tooth impressions. I've never known another dog to love tomatoes.
