Bella and Onslow are my first dogs, and it seems hard to imagine life without either of them now. I shared this link on my Facebook page a few days ago. There's a beautiful poem by John Updike and a link to the letter singer Fiona Apple wrote explaining why she was cancelling a concert tour to spend time with her dog http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/12/06/whats-a-dog-for-john-homans/ Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414496377660313372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513726410126955599.post-74301769537100071212013-01-22T06:38:08.372-04:002013-01-22T06:38:08.372-04:00Yes, it was a heart wrenching blow for me, and I d...Yes, it was a heart wrenching blow for me, and I didn't realise what a toll it had taken on my psyche. Our bow wows are so precious and bring so much joy into our lives, we could never truly repay them. Don't think about losing Missy just yet, she is fine. I will give Brownie a big hug from both of you...thanks.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513726410126955599.post-74623754781882355492013-01-21T19:29:03.822-04:002013-01-21T19:29:03.822-04:00Virginia, how heart wrenching to have to say good-...Virginia, how heart wrenching to have to say good-bye to so many.
