This really brought tears to my eyes.  My Dad wore those soft grey
sweatshirts-  mainly because they hid the hair of his
beloved Dalmatian Ramses.  That dog was his true love, best friend and
child.  Those 2 were inseparable.  I couldn't understand their relationship
until I got Frida.  Dalmatians are one owner dogs too.
 Ramses tolerated anyone else besides my Dad.  He would sit at the top of
the stairs when my Dad left and wait dedicatedly until he returned.  I would
joke that Ramses ate better in college than I did.  My Dad would buy him his
own hamburger when they went for lunch.  I ate Ramen Noodles.  When he died
a little piece of my Dad died. Thanks for sharing this poem.

Rylee and Frida
