Everyone is so kind, it makes such a difference. The students here in the college at the Chinese University of Hong Kong where I live have been so sweet - our two dogs, and the Alaskan Malamute who belongs to a colleague of my husband’s (Nick is master of a college here) are sort of honorary college mascots, and Tycho and Cuba ‘write’ a ‘dog blog’ every week that goes into their weekly notices. They are all devastated, too, and one of them has just brought me a little card to say how much Tycho meant to all of them. Goodness, how kind people can be. Thank you all so very much. I wish I could stop crying...
