I watch my little mutt, Zoe
eating  breakfast with me
I give her three different snacks
she likes
still, she is waiting for me to finish my oatmeal
I always save her a little
her dessert is how I like to think of it
she waits patiently
I try to hurry up my part
and put the bowl on the floor
she cleans it up
gobble-de-good
I feel good
she feels good
we have shared something meaningful

Yeah, understand your heart, my friend,after ten or so years, we still "smell" Chelsie, or Irish Setter, at times - and quite strongly too.

I'm glad she still lingers for you . . . that's how it should be.

This tears me to jagged ribbons.  Soaked in tears.  Oh, boy, do I understand!  I don't know how you are coping, Jerry.  I feel your anguish through every atom of my body, heart, soul and mind.  There's so much I want to say, but I just can't get it out.

She will always be with you in some way.
