Everything is different now

Many of you have been along on this journey with me for years now. And one of the great joys in my life that I got to share with you — at least a little bit — was that of my dog, Cordelia.

Cordelia

A nice dog eulogy.

**“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace.” -Milan Kundera**

We lost ours labor day. I just can’t bring myself to neither write about it nor read yours. Catharsis would be nice, but right now it’s something else.

Condolences.

Hello,

I am so sorry for your loss, I do understand as we lost our Cricket in early July. It hurts. My heart is with you during this time.

I messed up in posting this item ...I am so very, very sorry.

In keeping with FReepers’ generous kindesses, thank you for your thoughts; I apologize for my *daffyiness* with this post.

It should read from this source: https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/everything-is-different-now-e5a250e0bba8

[wish I could write a well as he.]

Perhaps, Mssrs Robinson could change it

Oh my, what a story! I have been through the same thing myself, may times but I could never write all the feelings down like you did. Amazing!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Our furbabies are family and their loss is one deeply felt. Cordelia was loved and will be missed.
I am sorry
