I dedicate this book to Chestnut

(September 29, 1995–April 16, 2007),

my ever-faithful cocker spaniel who followed me

around like the puppy dog he was, even in his old

age. I always watched over him, and now he is

watching over us. We miss you.

—Ken Bluttman

To my father, Jay B. Freeze, who taught me how

to survive when things get rough. I miss you.

—Wayne S. Freeze
