This I think I have learned: where there is love, the form does not matter, and the gods are pleased. This I have observed: what occurs in nature, comes by the hand of nature, and if the gods did not approve, it would not be there ~ Moondance k'Treva (Magic's Pawn)

In a dog's world, only three states existed: now, in a while, and forever. If someone left, he was gone forever, and when he returned they rejoiced as much as if he were back from the dead precisely because he'd been gone forever.
