The card is filled with sympathetic messages from some of the staff at the vet’s office where I brought Blur this past Monday. Not just “so sorry for your loss,” but sentences. Small paragraphs. Sweet and stunning.
And then there’s Blur’s left front paw print. It’s hers alright. Small, double-pawed.
I never expected this. The card, yes, but not the paw print.
New York, or Jewish, Rye Bread and a Reuben
That’s my rye bread…and inside, underneath the ooze of Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing, is my corned beef.
That’s the Reuben.
Here’s how I made the rye bread….
