She is a welcome relief and so is the ode to her!

Your poem this morning connected me even more deeply to Shadow. He is my companion. He lifts me up and provides a floor under which I must not fall. No wonder Dogs are everywhere. We need them, especially in rough times.

Yay Nikki! And to you Doc, his reciprocal companion!

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful friend. I have two rescue cats and since my husband died they have been a lifeline. Keeping an eye on me and just being there.

Loved it! I could probably write something like that about my 1 year old Ginger, Teddy! He's always with me even when I go to the bathroom!
