Dog play
Until the tears were streaming down my face as I watched Corey and Angel frolicking in 200 pounds of dangerously sloppy abandon, I didn't realize that my happiness was rooted in dog play. Was rooted, was uprooted, was ripped from my heart. I've been missing Reba and mourning with Corey.

May 9, 1925: As I Delve into Bestor Robinson...
I am aware that I have had certain expectations regarding Bestor Robinson. I think the picture is more complex and more pathetic than I realized at first. Or is that my expectation too? I expected him to be a hero. It seemed like he was going to be one. Then he just up and changed his course, or so it seems to me. And then there is his "other" life: the outdoor adventurer and WWII hero.
