I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner, but I haven't noticed anyone mention here on objectivistliving.com the sad news about Chris Sciabarra's little dog, Blondie, who passed away last weekend, from complications of a tumor. You might want to go to the Links folder and check out his Notablog entry on Blondie and/or send him condolences, if you haven't already. And my apologies for being remiss in not mentioning it before this.

Best 2 all,

I did not even know. I certainly empathize with him. On Christmas day, our 5-year old pug died. Three weeks before she started having seizures and the vet said she either had epillepsy or pug encephalitis. She was treated for epillepsy and we were told she would either get better, or she would not. Three weeks later she passed away while curled up in front of a Christmas evening fire. You really do get attached to them.

Kat and I sent him our condolences on Notablog the other day.

That dog probably had more character and more value to Chris than many humans in his life.
