The Loss of A Friend

I go the news yesterday that my lovely cousin Laurel lost one of her best friends this week.

Mick, her floppy, beautiful Irish Setter, went to a better place, hopefully to find companionship with Holly Belle, who we lost a few months ago.

When our animal friends pass away it can be so difficult, especially when others do not understand that these animals are our family. Mick and Laurel went through so much together. I know he will be missed.

I chose this photo because Laurel, I want you to picture him running free in green clover, chasing squirrels and being happy. I also want your spirit to feel that same joy, for you gave Micky many years of happiness…his age alone testifies to the love he felt from you.

I wish I were there to hug you.
