Dear Friends and Family:

Polo is on his great adventure with the angels and saints. Among other things,  I’m sure he’s enjoying his new found wisdom about
the greatest of life’s mysteries-( and the fact  that he is, once again,  all the more enlightened than I am!)

In the weeks proceeding his farewell, we spent a lot of time reminiscing about his wonderful life and all the places and people he
knew and loved – especially YOU!

Many have noted that the word d-o-g is God spelled backwards.  I learned a lot about God’s love from Polo and the way Polo
conducted himself toward me and toward the world.  This excerpt from the book God Calling (February 24, “Share Everything”)
describes it well and is a fitting tribute to Polo.   And to my friends and family who don’t believe or have doubts about God, don’t
discard this – for I know we are all in agreement that Love Rules…

Share Everything

Silently the work of the Spirit is done.

Already Love is drawing others to you.  Take all who come…and give them a royal welcome.

Welcome all who come with the love of your heart.  You may not see the work.  Today they may not need you.  Tomorrow they may
need you.  I may send you strange visitors.  Make each desire to return.  Nobody must come and feel unwanted.

Share your love, your joy, your happiness, your time, your  food, gladly with all.  Such wonders will unfold.  You see it all but in bud
now – the glory of the open flower is beyond all your telling.  Love, Joy, Peace, in richest abundance –only believe.  Give out love
and all you can with a glad, free heart and hand.  Use all you can for others, and back will come such countless stores and
blessings.

.
You’ll be happy to know that Polo has already  passed the torch of caring for me.  I leave this weekend to attend training camp to
receive a new service dog!  I’ll send more details as soon as I know them.

Please know that both Polo and I have grateful, loving hearts for all the prayers, thoughts, love, and good times you shared with us.

October 5, 1995 - February 22, 2005
Long may you run, Polo.  Long may you love.
