Those of you have had the pleasure of meeting Grady know that he has his quirks. There are times he drives us nuts. But I have to say, at times like this it's really nice to have him around, quirks and all. He's a good companion and he makes me laugh. This morning when we were walking, a sweet old lady came out of her house, looked at Grady, and said something like "schön hund" (plus a bunch of other unintelligible Swiss German stuff), which I think more or less means "what a pretty dog". It's 10:00am and too early to raise a toast, so instead I raise my coffee mug to Grady. To Grady!
