“I think of them from time to time, like you’d say to a friend you haven’t seen in a while, ‘Oh, what are they going to do.’ And so I definitely had some thoughts on where to go. they can be and what will happen to all of them.

“Their unconditional, uncompromising loving presence is an incredible gift. Enjoy your dogs as much as you can.

“They are great teachers. I’m taking this time to take a break from work/post to write and rest and see what the new chapter is like.”
