anniversary

Fool's Blog hit one year old this week. Congrats on the anniversary.

He also cited these lovely words by Lord Byron:

Near this spot are deposited the remains of one
who possessed beauty without vanity
strength without insolence
courage without ferocity
and all the virtues of man without his vices

This praise which would be
unmeaning flattery
if inscribed over human ashes,
is but a just tribute to the memory of Boatswain,
a dog who was born at Newfoundland,
May 1803, and died at Newstead Abbey, November 18, 1808.
