A rare thing, in this world.Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-29231903210752954322013-01-07T08:05:49.560-08:002013-01-07T08:05:49.560-08:00Oh my god, Linda, I don't know what to say. I&...Oh my god, Linda, I don't know what to say. I've lost three dogs but it was due to aging and health problems and so we had to put them to sleep. But I've never had to deal with a doggie that got hit and killed. My heart goes out to you. I remember lying in bed, sobbing, over my first dog's death so I can relate. And at the time I had no internet relationships going on. Now I do. And I would use the experience in my next book. In the meantime, know that you have friends here that are feeling your grief and I'll be thinking good thoughts for you. What a gorgeous picture of Jessie.

I'm hoping that remembering this dog's joy in living on the page will keep her goofy spirit alive in my heart. It's nice to know that others understand, and I know that you do. :-)Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-70258596918279326922013-01-06T15:38:52.826-08:002013-01-06T15:38:52.826-08:00I have been there, and I agree, writing about them...I have been there, and I agree, writing about them is honoring them. Almost all of my beloved animals appear in my mystery series--writing about them gave me joy and reminds me of each unique little spirit. I'm so sorry you lost Jessie, and I hope your writing about her brings some peace.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-5931997489790923702013-01-06T13:08:08.788-08:002013-01-06T13:08:08.788-08:00Thank you, Laura.
