My dog Cleric. I had Cleric for my first 15 years spent in L.A. She
was the greatest companion. She had a great long life, but finally
her body just started failing her. I didn't want her to be in anymore
pain, so I took her into the vet where I held her as they assisted her
on to her next journey. She went very peacefully in my arms. All
dogs go heaven they say. I hope that's true. She is greatly missed.
