Kids moving out & life starting again (Hal)

[Guest guest]

While flipping through the post archives, there was a thread from

Hal mentioning his kids haev grown and moved on, and the puppy has

gone to 'doggie Heaven'. Reminds me of the phrase my mother said a

long time ago when we got Thunderbolt (mostly Rhodesian Ridgeback

with a little yellow lab mixed in) - " Life does not begin again when

the children move away; life begins again when the dog dies " . The

kids can move away, but Thunderbolt is ours forever. Yeah!

Dan (Dad of 17cf, 16nocf, hubby to Kathy, and

servant to Thunderbolt)

P.S. - Watch for a special announcement in early January regarding

and the Maserati Trofeo Light team racing at the Rolex 24

Hours of Daytona. dd
