Losing Sammy on Friday really took the wind out of our sails, but one of the (many) benefits of running a place like this is always having an animal doing something to make us laugh. I think there’s no better way to cope with grief than to have a happy dog around.

So this morning I videotaped Kathryn and Stoney playing the water game. In the background you’ll see Birdie, our Lab with muscular dystrophy, walking up with a tennis ball in her mouth. She’s hoping Kathryn will ignore Stoney and play fetch with her instead. When she realizes that isn’t going to happen, she drops the ball and wanders off to watch the show. Here’s the clip:
