Dear God: Butch died this morning. He's on his way to Heaven. I'm sending this picture so you'll know him when you see him. Butch is on the right. I'm on the left, . I know you're real busy, but I hope you'll have time to play with him. He loves to swim, play ball, and chase squirrels. Are there squirrels in Heaven? Give him a big hug for me! Thankx - and have a nice day! Love, Bobby
