			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the pleasure of meeting my parents dogs on my vacation to Maine.<br />
On the left is Charlie a King Charles Spaniel (the center is Mumoo, my cow) and on the right is Little Bear, a Pomeranian.  They are both about 1 1/2 years old here.<br />
<a class="lightwindow page-options" title="Charlie, Mumoo &amp; Lil' Bear by Dennis Mueller, on Flickr" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2777768077_28610479fe_b.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2777768077_28610479fe_m.jpg" alt="Charlie, Mumoo &amp; Lil' Bear" width="240" height="180" /></a><br />
They are the so unbelievably sweet and playful.</p>
<p>They really took to Karen&#8230;<br />
<a class="lightwindow page-options" title="Karen &amp; Lil' Bear by Dennis Mueller, on Flickr" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/2778621924_86fcd1c9d4_b.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/2778621924_86fcd1c9d4_m.jpg" alt="Karen &amp; Lil' Bear" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>I found that Lil&#8217; bear was especially tasty.<br />
<a class="lightwindow page-options" title="Charlie, Lil' Bear &amp; Dennis by Dennis Mueller, on Flickr" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2778765968_92f8529534_b.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2778765968_92f8529534_m.jpg" alt="Charlie, Lil' Bear &amp; Dennis" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Little Bear was very sick as a pup.  My parents nursed him to health and he had a great vigor to him.  Very playful and affectionate.  But this past Saturday night, Little Bear died suddenly.  It broke my parents hearts. <img src='http://dennismueller.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<a class="lightwindow page-options" title="Little Bear by Dennis Mueller, on Flickr" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/2778623914_76aebdb14b_b.jpg"><br />

I know he had a great life and lived longer than he would have if my parents did not take him home but it is still very sad for such a young dog to pass on so quickly.</p>

<p>Isaac Hayes left us.</p>
<p>“You can’t put bread in a cold oven. You know you got to take your time you got to heat it up so that’s what, that’s what I like to do with my music.  You got to build it and build into a maddening, exciting crescendo.” Isaac Hayes, Interview 2000 with <a title="Isaac Hayes on NPR.org " href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93490133" target="_blank">NPR</a>.</p>
<p>Where would disco and rap be without Isaac Hayes? I would not want to know.  May your legend live on!</p>
