Hi Bonnie: I lost my sweet dog in April. Writing the poem was hard and I sobbed doing it. It’s helped me to grieve but there are still a lot of tears there. From what you say, I don’t think I’ll every get over losing her. We have another dog, but she’s really my husband’s. Shonali Burke has a wonderful story here on Medium about how one dog is your heart dog. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Mary
