even my neighbor's dog that I took care of when they went out of town passed this year and she had lived through a couple sets of our dogs! Someone has been greedy with the losses this year

My heart hurts but my head knows this is the way it is, and I will have dogs to love again. And I am grateful for all the ones I've had and lost.
