It turns out my bad doggy dream was sadly prescient. Gretchen is fine (aside from being on probation forever for destroying a chair), but my mom's venerable Aussie was put down yesterday, due to inoperable liver cancer. He was a good dog.

That sound you hear?

That's my childhood rocking and keening in the corner.
