He does that spontaneously, by himself -
just puts his paw or chin on us.

    I've seen the pain too. My simpathies to you both. I guess it's best to have only great memories of your little loved one. :)

    Oh guys, I'm so sorry for what you're going through right now. I've just read through what I've missed for the last couple days, and I'm sitting here sobbing. This is what I frickin' hate about having dogs... yes, it's inevitable but it still sucks.

    One thing that really strikes me though is what you've done for Buster - like GIVE him life. My god, not many people can deal with dogs with issues like that. You've given him as normal a life as he can have, and I sure hope you know you are making the right decision for him. You seem to always have done what's in Busters best interest, and will continue to do what is best for HIM.

    And he sure seems to have brought a lot of joy in your lives. You can see his loving gaze in these photos. Sweet boy. Take care.

what i'm (also) reading: tween lit

Part of my assignment for the new Kids On Wheels magazine is writing serial fiction. I haven't written fiction in many years, and when I did, it was for teenagers; the KOW audience is 8-12 years old. I'm quietly freaking out, wondering how on earth I'm going to meet this challenge. I know I'll come up with something, but will it be anything anyone would ever want to read? To start my mind working along age-appropriate lines, I've been re-familiarizing myself with classic books for the reading level. I chose five: The Phantom Tollboth by Norton Juster, A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle (one of my favorites when I was that age), the incomparable Harriet The Spy by Louise Fitzhugh, From The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg, and the modern classic Holes by Louis Sachar. Everyone should read Holes , it is brilliant. It was also make into an excellent movie, with a screenplay written, thank goodness, by the author. All this r...

conditions of bradley manning incarceration improve, thanks to all of us

I've been remiss in not writing about this sooner. The next time you feel that activism can't make a difference, think of Bradley Manning, and keep at it. Without the efforts of so many people shining a spotlight on Manning's treatment, there's no doubt he would still be in maximum security solitary confinement. And by highlighting how the military has treated Manning, we recall what he is accused of doing: exposing the truth of the occupation of Iraq. From Bradley Manning Support Network and Courage To Resist , emphasis mine. Hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world are celebrating the confirmation that their efforts to end the torturous pre-trial confinement conditions inflicted upon US Army PFC Bradley Manning have been successful. Manning’s lead defense attorney, David E. Coombs of Rhode Island, has personally verified that Manning is indeed being held in Medium Custody confinement at the Joint Regional Corrections Facility (JRCF) at Fort Leavenworth,...
