We have adopted 'unwanted' dogs over the years, and have seen five cross over that bridge. So many beautiful memories of so many characters.

And so much love.

Practical Advice For Today and Saturday:

Get yourself over to an animal shelter pronto.

Pray first.

There will be someone there who makes eye contact... who knows your loss... who longs to comfort you...

I hope you can get the money together, and jump through the hoops these shelter people place in your way these days...

And may you have a companion early in the New Year.

Doggy radar reaches from heaven to earth, and you will never know the connection now being made to heal your deep hurts.

Crickie will see to it.
