Lucky Boy!

Kurth is very fortunate to have friends in the neighborhood. Marianna came over with her dog while we were out and Kurth had the opportunity to make a new friend; tonight I wandered over by Marianna's and Kurth was able to play with both of her dogs. Of course, I intentionally walk by Karla's home because the alternative would be to intentionally avoid it and it seems that it will be challenging either way.

So Marianna and I shared tears and pondered such philosophical issues as whether it is better to lose a friend quickly or lose a friend slowly. We haven't resolved this, we're fortunate to not have too many experiences one way or the other. We agree that it was too soon to lose Karla, no matter the circumstances.

Anyway, I noticed that Kurth is developing a waist, his pudginess is slightly reduced. He sure does relish his meals, so I'll have to be pretty diligent about the amount of food he has the opportunity to consume!
