Hi Mark,
Just like everyone else on here, I have to start by commending you on an unbelievable book.
My fiance and I now have a one-year old yellow lab. His name is Trooper and I must say, he brings so much excitement and laughter to our lives. Even during the times when he is extremely mischievous (and there are many of these) we somehow find ourselves laughing only minutes later.
In reading all of these stories, I really do feel for the people that have lost their animals. It makes me realize that its not going to be forever with little Trooper and hopefully I gain the comfort that most of you have found through the book and this site.
Anyways Mark, keep up the excellent work. I listen to you every night before bed via the computer and there is no one I enjoy listening to more.

Take care,
Ryan from NH
