Yesterday was an emotional day for me - Beaufort lost his last puppy canine tooth remaining in his lower jaw, and in doing so marked his first real step into adolescence. Still as active as he has ever been, he still is growing and in testing his limits shows his expanding abilities to try us - and love us.
   He will never be a puppy again. Reality is sometimes difficult to appreciate, as I try to get in as much loving as his life with me will allow. I can't turn back the clock, but I can bask in the memories - and his bright future.
