I got to thinking that maybe I should explain the "So Long and Thanks for The Catfish" title. Most everyone who knows Jennifer and that knew Lucky knows the story.
One day quite a few years back, Jennifer watched Lucky returning from her swim in our little farm pond. On the way, she dropped something and picked it up again. Jennifer met her on the front porch just in time to see Lucky drop a small, still alive, catfish on the door mat. She actually brought another one on another day. No one saw that one, but we all assumed it was Lucky again. We have never figured out how a dog could catch a catfish, but she did it, twice.
"A day spent in the fields and woods, or on the water should not count as a day off our allotted number upon this earth."
