Near this spot are deposited the
remains of one who posessed
Beauty without Vanity, Strenth without Insolence
Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man
without his Vices

First and foremost, we are dog lovers. Before we were married, we knew we wanted
dogs, we knew we wanted large breeds, we knew we wanted more than one, and we
knew we'd give them the run of the house ... furniture and all. Our old friend
Ed Korczynski Sr. used to say
"there are two kinds of people in this world,
the ones who let their dogs sleep in their bed and the ones who don't." He
was the former (with his three Golden Retrievers). So are we.
