When we talk to dogs, we talk to ourselves. We are sad, but so happy to have had him in our lives. We construct a personality to complement our own beings.

After landing at National, I went to Union Station and picked up my mother (she was visiting for the week) and then we both went to City Dogs Daycare and picked up a pup. Snuggle the dog. Hence our real sadness—we lose a part of ourselves, that which is worth keeping. Snuggle the dog. Well, looks like I was coming home to a puppy. However dogs enter our lives, we become changed forever for the better. When we lose our companion, we feel that a piece of us has departed with them.
