> my apologies, Glen, it was a chain of thought, black dog, dog, good dog, pat pat...I hadn't heard the term before, and it got me going, I didnt mean it in any mean way, just comfort. Sorry.Dear Susan,
Apology accepted. I didn't know
that you were referring to the "black
dog"; in my mental state, I thought
you were referring to me. The "black
dog" is a term used for melancholy
and clinical depression.
