I'm in Jersey at a place called the Motel Americana and for some reason been thinking about that dog we had when the kids were little. Remember? Kids called her Glory? Frisky little pup, couldn't sit still, then protected those kids like nobody's business. Turned into a pretty creature. Regal. Still breaks my heart to think how quick she got so old. Her eyes clouded so she couldn't see straight. Bit anyone came knocking on the door. Then barking and growling at us , her own folks, poor thing. Then pissing inside the house, on the rug your mother gave us, pissing on her own bed. Had us screaming at each other trying to figure what to do about her. It was like she knew almost, then just disappeared. I loved that do. Old Glory. Hope to be home soon, George Kevin Macleod
