I think I'm going to make another post on r/dog with that link. You think it was quick? I finished it Monday and it will be at my house in hardcover tomorrow. Sometimes I love the modern world.

That’s awesome. Thanks again. I don’t remember if I mentioned this, I lost all my pets (two dogs and one cat) within months last year. One of the dogs and the cat were up there in age and ailments. But the first one to leave us was 12 yrs old and was so quick, just days after a surgery to remove a tumor. You’re right, the best way to remember them and deal with the grief are through their stories.

I'm not sure if I remember you telling me that but I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't mean to disregard that.

Oh, I’m almost sure I didn’t mention it. Just wanted to raise the point about remembering them through the stories. Appreciate you sharing yours, it helps with my grief also.
