Note: CogDogBlog has a new WordPress powered home at http://cogdogblog.com/. All entries from this version have been moved there, so as a guide dog service try finding this article in its new home by title search.

We interrupt the regular stream of yammering about rss, wikis, flickr, tags, learning objects, eportfolios, spam (actually it's been a while for that, don't ask why) for something meaningful to me (well it is my blog).
It's been more than 3 months since my companion and subject for the "dog" part of this site, Mickey, the Labrador Retriever, left the house. I must have gotten more comments from that (sans phentermine related items) than anything else written here, so blogs are need not just be about the "news" we write.
It was a week or so ago, I quietly brought Mickey's graphic back from the 70% transparency at the CpgDogBlog masthead.
I finally got around to working up a tribute to a sweet dog who had a short life-- see Mickey's Tribute or see the story in pictures (also at flickr).
Dogs (and cat too I guess) get right in your heart.
