As my Dex grew older he developed strong preferences when it came to his canine friends. I respected that.I gave him the best life I could. Yet...his end of life came fast, tossing the plans I'd made into confetti. The very end was peaceful, for which I am grateful. Such is life, and death.

I'm so sorry, Marji. From the guy who spoke to me intentionally slowly as if I could not possibly comprehend the most simple instructions, to the coworker who suddenly turned and pushed me up against a wall, smashing his lips to mine, to the ex husband who did much, much worse, I felt your words.

Deschutes River in Bend, OR 💗

Black Beauty was given to me when I was around 8 years old. I read that book at least 20 times when I was a child. It helped to form me in a profound way. Great pick.

Scary stuff indeed.

He's lovely!

We do.

I woke up this morning and the sun was still shining, and my pantry was stocked, and the people I love also love me 💗

Same. I can't bear to watch or read anything dark. That means Hot Frosty and the like until I can handle the world again 🙃

I hear you, sister ❤️
