Just met my granddoggiedaughter and I feel much better. Something about a baby...

She's beautiful and mellow. They kept the name Dana from her old owners. It was meant to be, she is named after her "daddy". Jezze, I used to hate it when people personified their pets...but now I do it.

It was also good for me to see my Jenny and Dan; I feel more connected and they certainly are so happy together.

I guess I just needed to sleep and see my kids to put things in perspective.

I'm still not going to refer anyone to Drinking Liberally again...unless they get a puppy for me.
