The dog looks like my dog, but I don't look like the dude...nor do I look like the dog, I should put out. But the dog's the cuter of these two - make of that what you will!

Maggie,
I think the dogs are with David's wife still.

Love you.

Sweden,
DFW is David Foster Wallace. He was likely the greatest writer of his (and my) generation. I have posted a lot on him. He hung himself, after an agonizing battle with depression, over a year ago. Check out the back posts if you want to, by doing a search. Dave is one of my favorite writers.

Love,

SB

Your comment made me laugh.

Much love, and pat the dog for me,

They have a similar look. I've heard that we look like our dogs.

Sarcastic Bastard said...

Syd,
May well be true, buddy. I prefer to think I look like my cats though.

Laugh.

Nigel said...

I'm patting the dog as I type, which is pretty hard. Ever tried?

In the article in Vanity Fair, there is a description of how David kissed his dogs on the mouth and how he loved them. I hate to think of him kissing his dogs goodbye -- heartbreaking pic.

Nigel,
I have tried, and you are correct, my brother.

Love you.

Mary LA,
I thought of the same thing when I posted the picture. Too bad we have to think sad thoughts about something that made David so happy (his dogs).

Much love.
