Bandit chose us, we didn't know we needed another dog until he showed up.  So smart, so loving, he knew when I was going to exercise before I ever changed clothes, and wanted to go running!  He would sense it, even if he was on the other side of the yard, outside, and I was inside.  He was part of my soul.  Screwy, happy, and forever loved.  I am limping through life without you, my friend.
