Creepy but somehow comforting. Thanks for writing a sonnet. I need more sonnet models.

I can still imagine that feeling of all the dogs and cats now gone. I love Rylant's books, glad you are a fan, too, Amy!

I've always felt like my dogs sort of reincarnated in the next dog- Rooney, my current service puppy-in-training is goofy and rambunctious and exuberant, like Jack Black, who was as sweet and soulful as my all time favorite four-legged Buddy, Ramsey. Interestingly, I'm about to start a book, GOOD DOG by Dan Gemeinhart, about a dog who returns to Earth to take care of his best friend.

I know the grief of missing her someday soon (hopefully, not too soon) will hurt bad. So, I delight in the idea of a ghost visit from her. I love the dreams I have when I get to see my Mom. Even just a bit of dream feels like a visit and I cherish it.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-15410305793169334302020-01-03T07:37:43.830-05:002020-01-03T07:37:43.830-05:00I LOVED reading your essay about Mini! :-) Thanks ...I LOVED reading your essay about Mini! :-) Thanks for attaching the link. It made me tear up, giggle, shake my head yes, and smile while reading it. I fully agree with everything you said. It made me miss my kitty, BooBoo, and dog, Diamond, so much. They are together in Heaven. Thanks for sharing!! :-)tarafarah7https://www.blogger.com/profile/05988980010380078555noreply@blogger.com
