Rickyralph has jumped me this year. After 4 rounds he leads 26 to 21. He had a perfect 9 in round 2 followed by two sevens, leaving me floundering.
In our criss cross emails this week he mentioned the passing of his dog Dodge, at 14 years of age from liver disease a few weeks ago. Dodge started getting very thirsty some months ago and when he went off his food altogether it was time to call in a vet friend to put him to rest.
Rick is still grieving and I feel great sympathy for him. He and Dodge had a special bond that humans and dogs can have but the depth of which is uncommon. Rick has aged from 47 to 61 over Dodge's life and inevitable as everything is it still leaves a great emptiness I'm sure, as I have often imagined should I lose my girls.
I have great determination though to improve my tipping and take the title for the third successive year. At this point there are 18 rounds yet to go.
