Another beautiful poem, thank you! A stunning painting as well--I need more art like that at my writing desk!

On another note, I am so sorry for your loss. The love we humans share with our dogs is profoundly deep, and I don't think it ever fades. Sending you love and peace and healing as you grieve.

This really moved me. I do think animals have a sixth sense. And crows are sentinels!

SO good! Gave me goosebumps! And I’ve watched 3 pets and so many people die. You got it so right.
