Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Nobody knows where you are,
How near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers
And I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph,
Sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child,
You winner and loser,
Come on you miner
For truth and delusion, and shine!
~lyrics by Pink Floyd


"Yankee" was my diamond. He's sound, correct, and has done everything I ever dreamed of doing with a Borzoi. Beyond that, he was incredibly cute. Here he is with his son, Vaska, then just three months old.

Yankee's vital statistics

I miss him every day and blame him for my diversion, finches, because after I lost him, I needed something to get my mind off of dogs.
