This article pretty much made me start sobbing at work today.

Hospice Dog: My dog Izzy comforts the dying.

In which the author and his border collie go through hospice volunteer training

I adore all of Jon Katz's articles for Slate. His blog is prety good too: Bedlam Farm.

Thank you so much for link -- in so many ways it's exactly the kind of thing I needed to read today.

The hospice journal is making me cry too.

It's just fantastic, isn't it?

It kind of makes me want to be a hospice volunteer, but I know there's no way I have the fortitude to do so. Nor a dog like Izzy, I suppose.
