Beautiful Dee. Hard to read at same time as my rescue mutt is getting older & had some recent health scares that made me ponder about the “end” (knock on wood she’s fine now). She’s been with me since shortly after divorce and through most of my sobriety (incl spending a month in a dog hotel my last trip to rehab in ‘19 when no family or friends could dogsit; talk about guilt even though it was a posh setup as dogs go). She gets to go to work w/me every day and she’s been a constant companion through thick & thin. Thx for putting the article back up solve I wasn’t on SS in ‘23👍
Dee- tears stream down my cheeks. What a gorgeous tale of Bogey’s life with you. I devoured every single word. How can I cry while reading about someone else’s beloved familiar? Well, I’ve had the gift of having a beloved soul such as Bogey in my lifetime too. Thank you for sharing him with me.
Each of these beautiful beings have carved out a piece of my heart and taken it with them.
I’m a firm believer that one day (in the far distant future) Bogey will be welcoming you to the other side of that rainbow, tennis ball at the ready with one of those soulful eyed grins that convey “good to see you my old friend”. 💕
Something else we have in common! I work for a small radio station for a few years - AM & FM -Ioved it! Found out I was a fantastic copywriter!!! I also did office (everything), recorded ads mostly written by me 😂
Sadly a new owner came in and was a raging alcoholic - I moved on to Juvenile Justice and was so pleased. Sadly the station was closed and I believe the tower was sold.

It is the hardest thing. And you will handle it with love and grace when the time comes 🙏
