Oh my gosh thank you for this message. It helped a lot as we said goodbye to our Bindi one week ago. I used to think I only had enough love for people and Bindi helped me see that I can love animals and even plants. There seems to always be more inside of me no matter what.

This is such a great piece Nona. They’re never “just a dog”. Absolutely a family member to me.

This touched me deeply, remembering saying goodbye to Lily and welcoming Marley. My life is not enough without a furry companion. ❤️

I lost one of my pups who was 14 years old last fall. I have a beautiful ring on my finger like opal that a company made infused with some of his ashes. It's comforting. At the time, I described Bruno as the most high maintenance PIA dog I'd ever had, but a dog who loved me more unconditionally than I dare say even my own mother. And for that reason, that loss was exponentially more painful than some others (I've always had dogs). Last night my cats, who are trained to come home every evening, until they decide to be cats and disobey, wouldn't come in. There was a critter out back and they were all on the hunt. My other dog included. Hours chasing them, until I gave up on one cat and tossed and turned all night in fear she'd get hurt. I was SOOOOO annoyed with them all. Locked them all in the house today when I left for work. "You're all in time out!!" I yelled. So very timely article and reminder of that unconditional love thing (and now I feel bad haha). Sorry you lost your fur baby. What a beautiful boy!

Nona, this is so touching and you express the sentiments of the life with a pet of any kind simply perfectly. I feel so lucky to have known Molly and she made a huge impact on our boys’ lives. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Oh Nona - this was stunning and heartbreaking in so many ways. My heart broke and melted all at the same time. Thank you for sharing Ms. Molly with us. She will be missed and loved until we one day can meet up again...
