Jerry, that would make a wonderful children's book! I am sorry for your loss of Blewyn.

I can well believe a border collie fulfilling such a role. We've had our first one, Merlee, a McNab found quite by *accident*, for about five years now and I've never known a more stalwart, steadfast, eager to please, watchful, and smart dog!

Desdemona, thanks for mentioning the original language of Aramaic. Do you know of the book by Charles Fillmore, "The Metaphysical Bible Dictionary?" The translations and meanings are based on the original Aramaic.
