Oh msbelle that is so hard. I’m so sorry.
Hi Shir! The world is pretty nuts these days.
I super don’t want to be awake or doing work today. But I had a 7am meeting. Bleh.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

msbelle, I'm so sorry you had to go through that alone last night. I hope you can find time today to be kind to yourself.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sympathies, msbelle. It's such a shocking experience, on top of the grief. Sending hugs if they help, and you want them.

Our wings are not tired
When we lost Kaylee aftercare services came to the house and they actually came in the middle of the night.
I'm so sorry msbelle. It's so hard to lose them.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm so sorry, msbelle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Thank you all. The house is too quiet and nothing feels right, but we’re having comfort food and taking time.

I'm so sorry msbelle.
I have wept more for my dogs than my parents, because my love for my dogs is uncomplicated.
(Sorry I've been away, had to skip a bunch.)
