Gorgeous. When my family dog passed I immediately wrote down all the things I could remember about her because I was desperate not to forget little (non-verbal) things — I’m pretty sure the pit-pat of her paws approaching in the hallway was at the very top. Thank you for reminding me to find that list 💛

This hits a little too hard Jenny. We just fostered a dog for a mere 2 days and the amount of love and adoration I developed for the little thing was ridiculous. His name was Bean and he spent the first 5 years of his life in a crate and all he wanted was a bit of relief and support. I cried so much when he left and your poem made me think of him again :') Happy tears, happy thoughts, phew.

So beautiful and touching. I grew up with several dogs and they meant the world to me especially my little dog Toutou. He was so smart and funny. He was found abandoned as a little pup and he was so afraid but I gain his trust and his love and we were best friends. I miss him everyday. He helped me survive. I have the beautiful book from Mary Oliver. Love your beautiful pictures ❤
