In order to open your heart to the next one, it requires a form of amnesia to take over - and that amnesia can feel like a betrayal to the 'beloved.' Poured my heart out on five type written pages over the loss of Tulip (a little feral who came up from the LA river). 20 years later and I still can't bring myself to reread them.

He romped around, and when he felt he got too far away, he turned and then came bounding back to be petted, big doggie smile on his face. There's nothing like the relationship you have with your dog, a being who loves you completely without guile and pretense without limit, and yet doesn't know your name. Thanks for sharing some of your life with that gentle soul.<br />The Sage of Altadenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315026083252616689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-46504419388685817442014-03-19T20:03:57.331-07:002014-03-19T20:03:57.331-07:00Karin, I loved your Phoebe pieces, too, just as I ...Karin, I loved your Phoebe pieces, too, just as I love this Boz post, Petrea.Ms Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960193596384417988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-34557914014114326202014-03-19T13:30:10.706-07:002014-03-19T13:30:10.706-07:00I remember wondering how you could write them.
