A Tribute

Newton Hunt

Thanks for sharing your tribute.  Lolly appears to have been a very handsome
and intelligent being.  I lost an aging golden retriever a month ago, and I
know how difficult it is.  At least we know they had a good life, and the
memories of their affect on our lives makes it seem like we haven't really
lost them afterall.
