Technically, this is a test page. Why? Because it’s full of pictures of my dogs.
However…all three of these animals have been very important in my ability to come to faith, and then to strengthen it. Especially Katie. (For more on Katie, read here or here.)

———- ‘Grace’ – The Boxer/Beagle Mix ———-
Dad says I look like Katie (the next pooch). Do you think so?
I can’t figure out how to light this pipe…
———- ‘Katie’ – The Lab Mix ———-
I’m Sleepy.
What did you just say?
Aw, Dad – you’re embarrassing me!
Dad, you need to do some situps.
Did you just say ‘food’?
You said ‘down’. This is as low as I can get.
Yes, I want the bubbles NOW!
The Bubbles are coming…
I need to protect the house from the BUBBLES!
Dad took this shot from between my back legs.
No, that is NOT a party hat, it’s a pillow.
Mom thinks it’s cruel, but I think it’s cool.
If I’m a retriever, why aren’t I IN the water?
Daydreaming about Calculus II.
I’m running, and spit’s flying everywhere!
Mom took this shot – I think it’s great!
———- ‘Boomer’ – The Beagle ———-
Yes, I’m really a Beagle…not a baby seal.
My EARS! Where’s the subway grid?
Not a bad look for an old man, eh?
This is Dad’s favorite shot of me.
First, I say Grace over my bone.
Yep, I know I’m cute.
Test site, my foot! You’re just a proud Paw! ♪♫ All God’s creatures got a place in the choir ♪♫ Some sing low and some sing higher ♪♫ Some sing out loud on a telephone wire ♪♫ Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they’ve got now ♪♫
She’s so cute! (Boomer, too) You’re right, I think Jesus is going to take good care of her until you see each other again. I’m sorry you had to do that, though, but if Katie loved you even half as much as y’all loved her, and I’m positive she did and more, then I think she’d want you to be happy. I know I never knew her except in stories, but I think she’d want you to celebrate her life and all she’s done with you. Stay strong and smile every day (:
Thanks Stephanie for your heartfelt and kind words. God has blessed us with so much grace as we are more joyful than sorrowful when we think of Katie. We miss her terribly but know she is healthy and happy and we will see her again one day. 🙂
What? No pictures of Gracie?
Is heaven an actual place or a “state” of mind ?
Love the pictures Greg! I believe that dogs are pure unconditional love..
See you in RCIA class Sir.
