Off-topic: The best virtual hug of all
Today was a serious bummer of a day at the Berlind household. Shortly after 9AM, our 11-year old dog collapsed in front of my four year old son.

Via instant messenger, I shared the news with my friend Danese Cooper. In return I got a link to a YouTube video which was exactly what I needed when she sent it. It's the All the Same video from the Sick Puppies (uploaded to YouTube just two days ago). Our girl was a sick puppy after all. Much sicker than anyone thought. Anyway, the video was very uplifting. Check it out and pass it around as you see fit. Such virtual healing and spreading of humanity isn't the only thing the Net is about. But it sure is one of them. Thanks Danese.
