Didn't want to start a new thread, but. . . .
RIP Dusty - Andrew Sullivan's bestie of 15 1/2 years. Put to sleep last night.
Never met the guy, nor would I expect to, but his love of his dog has been a LONG-standing aspect of his personality. His site's avatar has long featured a cartoon of her, whether lolling at Andrew's feet as he typed, or howling in the letterhead. Whenever she or her little bro did something cute or memorable, it'd get a blurb on the blog.

Now, I wait, emptied, for her.
