Way cool, Karyn; way cool. (And a special tip of the hat to Pam and Henry at Capriccio Farms for commemorating one of America's greatest popular composers -- who was also a darn good performer of his own tunes.)<br /><br />And no, I'm NOT morbid! :) I think.<br /><br />And what a great name for a Newf: "That Old Black Magic" -- did Arayo's dam's litter have a dog w/ that name?<br /><br />Once again, the list has made my day.<br /><br /><br />- JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936035466502490028.post-27758981595023967222010-12-03T20:02:46.483-08:002010-12-03T20:02:46.483-08:00That was wonderful, Karyn! Loved the picture! Ho...That was wonderful, Karyn! Loved the picture! Hope you and Arayo were singing for Johnny, too. He brought the world so many wonderful songs. Arayo's dam, Ch Capriccio's Autumn Leaves, was one of eleven puppies with Mercer song titles. Jeepers Creepers, I Wanna Be Around, And The Angels Sing, Tangerine and Autumn are still alive at 11 years 3 months. We lost In My Wildest Dreams, Midnight Sun and Early Autumn in the last year. Arayo is one of ten puppies, so I continued the theme for these ten, as I so love Johnny Mercer's work. Here's hoping they have all inherited their dam and grand dam's longevity, especially Ms. A!<br /><br />PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936035466502490028.post-35373609683000291402010-12-03T20:00:50.716-08:002010-12-03T20:00:50.716-08:00I so much enjoy Arayo's journey through this w...I so much enjoy Arayo's journey through this wonderful land. Every day I check your website, thank you again for sharing both of your stories for all to enjoy. Also I wanted to say that the photos you took on Rosie's day were beautiful in honor of her. <br /><br />Lisa & Glacier...the Newf Richland, WashingtonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936035466502490028.post-87061372944233188442010-12-02T02:51:17.564-08:002010-12-02T02:51:17.564-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Karyn Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900259106102345908noreply@blogger.com
