Howard
1994-2006
My daughter called this morning to tell me that her dog, Howard, a Cardigan Corgi, had to be put down last night. He'd had a couple of seizures, and the vet suspected pancreatic cancer -- insulin and blood sugar problems -- and last night, he had a series of seizures that got progressively worse.
Named after the horror writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Howard was a big part of the reason that we decided to get a Corgi. Howard was a playmate for Cady when they were puppies, and later, for Scout. He was a distant great-great uncle to our dog Jude.
Yesterday was a bad day for dogs in our family.

Supposedly a little girl once asked Cotton Mather if dogs went to Heaven. He said to her dog: "At the Resurrection, my friend, you will wear a tail of gold."
ReplyDeleteOld Witch-Burner Mather. Apparently he liked dogs.
Not Cotton Mather, Martin Luther
