Sukie Cujo Bear Dunton
The best family dog we could ever ask for, Sukie has been such a blessing in our lives for the past twelve years. She is so friendly and loyal and loving.

– Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad
Hello, fatality! Hello, new life! I am open to you.
A heart beyond tame
I want a love
You want a lover
I couldn’t make you stay
I waited here for you forever
I watched all the leaves change
Now I sit in awe and wonder
At how your ghost remains
I wish I could explain
explain, explain
