A little bit of light came into our lives last week in the form of some good news: Sandy, the abandoned little pup we rescued from the streets this summer has found a home!

And, wow, look at those ears! (I’ve posted some more photos on my Instagram.)

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to the family that co-fostered her with us and the family that ultimately adopted her.

It brings to mind the Latin adage, dum vita spes… where there is life, there is hope.

Tracie and I stayed up last time to watch the early-morning news from Israel. We wept as we watched tearful Israeli and Palestinian families reunite. The last two years of war have been horrific, a moral tragedy and human catastrophe.

But where there is life there is hope. Our family is praying for peace and for all the families affected. May G-d bless and protect them.
