Lincoln was my first dog.  I got him just as I was graduating from college.  I was young and didn’t know how to raise a dog, but we learned together.  Lincoln taught me so much about life and love.  He was my kindred spirit and one of the best friends I have ever had.  It seemed that he could read my mind.  We had to let dearest Lincoln go in the summer of 2006 - he was 14 years & 3 months old.  I still miss him.  I wish he were here to beg me for watermelon and broccoli - two of his favorite treats.  We used to joke about him thinking he was a vegetarian... he even liked lettuce.  He was so tender and cuddly, especially during his last few years.  We will always remember and love him very much.  - Charity
