What a great tribute to the love of a pet. Bonnie chose well. I wonder sometimes if the bond between humans and animals is so strong because they cannot talk. Not that they don't communicate but sometimes the words we exchange in the process of loving another can add unintended dimensions. When words come into play we sometimes don't pay attention, assuming we understood the intended message. With our pets we have to really "listen" and strive to understand. You described just such a relationship. You piece was especially poignant because we had to put our beloved Tucker down yesterday. He was a Jack Russell and spent 15 years with us. I hope that time will blunt the sharp pains of your loss. Those who love risk much but are well rewarded.
