“I know you,” he said with a lick to my hand.
“Perhaps not from here, but from another time and land.”

“I’m glad we found each other once after coming to this place.”
So we’re privileged to witness, once more,
the transcendent love between a paw person,
and the human they adore.

I haven’t told any of my blogger friends but Raven passed away on Friday. I am heartbroken and floofless, and this made me cry even more. She was 14 and the sweetest little girl you’d ever meet. Thanks for this beautiful poem.

I feel it, my friend. Always difficult to lose one we trust and love, especially one who feels our needs, knows our moods, and doesn’t judge us. I hope my effort gives you some solace as you celebrate her times with you.
