"Dali" is pronounced like "Dolly".
"There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy
licking your face."
- Bern Williams
My beautiful Dali. Dali was always known as "My-Dali" or "Dali-anna".
Here she is at about a year old. The poor stacking is mine, the beautiful dog is all Dali.

"We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare
and love we can spare.
And in return, dogs give us their all.
It's the best deal man has ever made."

This is where we lived in Chicago when I was in Anesthesia school. Notice the chipping lead paint on the bathtub!
" No Matter how little money and how few
possessions,
you own, having a dog makes you rich."

My beautiful Dali-anna
"That'll do" is the traditional signal used by herding folks to tell the dog that she is released from work. "That'll do" lets the dog know to stop working and return to her handler; It means, "Quit whatever you are doing and come to me."
"That'll do, Dali, that'll do."
In Memoriam
With you a part of me hath passed away;
For in the peopled forest of my mind
A tree made leafless by this wintry wind
Shall never don again its green array.
Chapel and fireside, country road and bay,
Have something of their friendliness resigned;
Another, if I would, I could not find,
And I am grown much older in a day.
But yet I treasure in my memory
Your gift of charity, and young hearts ease,
And the dear honor of your amity;
For these once mine, my life is rich with these.
And I scarce know which part may greater be,--
What I keep of you, or you rob from me.
By George Santayana
