Answered the door about 7:00 pm last night to two young girls who had been fans of colt puppy since about 2 years ago when they came by peddling cookies or other school supporting treats. It was not the treats they remembered - it was the big black dog named colt who did all the cool tricks. After that first encounter they would occassionally knock on the door and no matter who would answer the door - they would say "can colt come out and play?"

I had been expecting that knock for about six months now and last night it finally came. Their little faces just looked crushed and one of them finally said - I just don't know what to say. The other admitted that she hadn't seen colt outside when they driven by or when she was in school (as the school is right next door - literally).
They soon busied themselves playing with the new kittens - all 100 of them, that are so full of life and all over
the garage and now the porch as well.
Anyway, it was both painful but also sweet to know that it wasn't just in my eyes that he was such a cool dog!
