I always look for butterflies. Three days after I had to put down my male GSD, a butterfly flew down into our covered porch and went back and forth between Bear's food bowl and blanket. Back and forth, back and forth. THEN IT LANDED ON HIS DOG HOUSE DOOR and perched there for awhile. I didn't think much of it until this happened.

When a year and a half later I had to put down his sister, I mourned to myself, where are my butterflies? By that time I had lost my mother so I was really bummed. Where are my butterflies (when will I be comforted)? I look over at my garden and I realize, there is this MAJOR butterfly migration going through my yard! Have you ever seen it whent they migrate? There is just this steady stream of butterflies.
