I remember the fist time I met Mark & his beloved companion, Saskatche, when Mark came in so did Saski.  If I was not in the front they came to the back looking for me and milkbone biscuits.  If it was hot out, water was offered to them.  Sometimes they had been swimming and came in to visit.  It was always a gifted pleasure to see them and I will greatly miss Mark.  Please hug Saski.
