A Woman's Best Friend
By Erica Jong - please see website credit below...
from Cigar Aficionado, June 2000

Man's best friend is also a woman's. A strong woman can accomplish anything with a loyal dog at her side. Men may come and go, but dogs walk (and sniff) on forever. Like men, dogs think with their noses.

Unlike men, dogs are fiercely loyal. I could tell you the story of my life through the dogs I have loved. I could tell you the story of the losses in my life through their deaths. Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love and loyalty. They depart to teach us about loss. We try to replace them but never quite succeed.




A new dog never replaces an old dog; it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big.

The article continues, as she describes the dogs in her life... it is worth the read - very compassionate and funny -http://www.ericajong.com/womansbestfriend.htm
