What you write reminds me of how she consoled me. She herself left this world a year-and-a-half ago. I was very lucky to have had her in the time that I did. Home is not the same without her, as indeed it was with any previous loss, and as it must be in this world.<br /><br />Nice post, as always.Virgil T.

We got Suki to be a life-saver for my daughter when she got cancer and was very depressed. Turns out, it's my life that has been saved by this sweet little Havanese. www.robinbotie.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783566853231843334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284130410123072156.post-14322754479359779532016-01-14T13:33:37.699-06:002016-01-14T13:33:37.699-06:00Thank you.

Sharon died 3 months ago and it was so painful for her to give up the horses and goats she loved. They were part of who she was, but fortunately I still have our one-eyed, toothless pit bull rescue and several feral cats to feed every morning. Yes her animals keep the connection to her memory and help me with the journey. Peace.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007578614245104439noreply@blogger.com
