Sorry to hear about your dog. It is hard to lose a loved one, even when it is "just" an animal - they are so much more than that to us!
i'm working so hard at bringing my stories to life. I have many things I'd love to do with what remains of my life, but it seems that writing is my best chance of making some of those things happen. Thanks to Steemit and Dbooks, it really is coming together!
