My friend Dan Fishman put it best: "Dogs teach us something new every day, but they save the most important lesson for the last."

I'm glad that resonated with you. If you're already familiar with Naruda's "A dog has died" it's a beautiful piece. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/40470/a-dog-has-died

So sorry for your loss. They take a little piece of our hearts with them when they go.

What a sweetie!

They never know how much work it is not to see them.

It's always hard to let them go. Some more than others. I'm seeing off my oldest cat tomorrow. Aggressive cancer that's hitting him harder everyday. No more suffering. He's also been a "gud boi". Sincere condolences to you and yours. I think we'll see them all again.

Oh, Nancy... hugs to you & yours. It is hard, and a reminder of why their companionship is worth the cost.

Totally worth the cost. They make us better people.

I'm sorry for your loss. I probably shouldn't have read this at work because my computer screen is all blurry now. I'm glad he was a part of your life, an you - his.
