I want to thank all of you for sending such loving thoughts to me and my girl. I had to take a few days to collect myself. I wasnt in a good space. Many of you know that the past few years have been a really tough time for me. Story had literally been my life line more than a few times. She had pulled herself out of some health problems because she didnt want to leave me. She worried about me. In the end, as I was holding her, I had to promise her I would be ok. She had to promise me she would let go. The energy around us was intense. The vet had put my dogs down for two decades and knew my spiritual work and respected it. He waited for the moment. We both gave him the look.

When she was gone from her body I saw how ravaged her body had been. And I felt how clean her spirit was. I wept, from sorrow over losing her on this earth, from how hard this transition was, how painful our last month was together, how relieved I was to feel her within me, and how scared I was over how weak I felt. So I went and stayed somewhere so I could collect my thoughts and grieve. I prayed and stayed sober and rested and ate well and came home today. And when I came here, I wept, reading all of these wonderful posts and messages. Thank you. I needed to come home to this. Once again, the planet demonstrates what a community it truly is. A dog dies and people reach out to its owner. You guys get what she meant to me. She wasnt JUST a dog. She was my life. My angel. My love.

Thank you.

My heart goes out to you. I know how much your baby meant to you. My ladybug is going to be 13 this year. I know that her time will one day come and it makes me savor every moment with her. She finally grew all her hair back from her infection last year. I was sure I was going to lose her then. She has proven to be a strong soul.

So I know ooohhh so much how you feel about your beloved Story. She was a blessing to you as you were to her. Your heart is so big and full of love.

Sending you peace and comfort.
