   You never stop looking for that shadow : ( At least I haven’t even though there is a new shadow following me.

     We called him Dusty Shadow. On his last night, I couldn’t even sneak out to the bathroom, because he’d try to come, and he was barely walking. Heartbreaking devotion.

   For a while, you’ll check in your sleep, too. But your big ol’ heart will absorb it all.

     Yes. I remember when we first lost Pepe I dreamed about him a lot. He was digging himself out of the grave, etc. 😦 I’m sure the two of them will be visiting the next while.

       Ah. Mr. Kipling and Mr. Winter need to meet in heaven and discuss their dogs. 🙂

   I’m so sorry for your loss. Our animal companions teach us as much in their absence as they do in their presence. Prayers for comfort and healing in this time of grief.
