'...a song for a heart so big, god couldn't let it live....'

My dog - Gretchen Grace Sikora - passed this morning. She was almost 13 years old (11/28/95-11/25/08). She was a tricolor Collie. I will miss her terribly - I do already. I am a dog person (I realize some of you are not and this is just silly to you), however, she was a longtime best friend to me (even though she lived with my parents).
No one will ever love me quite like this dog did. No one will ever think I'm as great as she did. And that's ok. From here on out, I will try to be the person she thought I was.
