Boy was Dennis happy to see and play with his cousins today! And he loved being with his aunt and uncle as well, as he kept going up to them for hugs or just to say "Hey, Michael!" and "Hey, Kristin!". They played and played and played this afternoon, first at Gran's and Pop's house and then down here at the lake. We took them for a mini walk tonight to see lightning bugs and then put their sleepy selves to bed. I can't wait to watch them play together again tomorrow.
As fun as the afternoon was, the evening was touched with a bit of sadness. We lost Sniffles, Mom's dog of 13 years, the first family dog we had in this town (first one since our early childhood). She arrived after I left home, but we were all very fond of her and are sad to think that she won't be there to greet us whenever we go to visit. It was especially hard on Mom, and I think she had already had a difficult day (week, month...) before she discovered that this had happened.
Farewell to you, Madame Oreo Sniffles, lhasa apso supreme, and may you run and jump and play like a puppy in doggy heaven. You will be missed.

Rest in peace Sniffles! I hope you find lots of tires to mark in doggie heaven!
