The shadow of death


That's an academic and scholarly way to talk about death. Feels more real when it hits close to home.

    I'm so sorry! Losing a beloved animal is always hard. My dog will be turning 5 this September and although she is still young and healthy, I'll never be ready to let her go when her time comes. I feel like it's always the good memories that make it hurt more because you can no longer make new ones with your best friend. But alas our good boys and girls must walk across the rainbow bridge at some point!

      Thanks, Jordan. Scooter was my daughter's dog, but he lived with us for over a year and became my good pal. If you're a dog person like me (raised by a veterinarian), you'll eventually have to say a painful goodbye to so many "best friends"... it's hard, but worth it. It's also good preparation for the hard goodbyes we eventually must say to members of our own species, and family.

    I’m sorry, Dr. Oliver. Losing any pet is hard enough, but dogs sting something extra. Section 6

    If any creature can be said to be a master of "flourishing, given the circumstances," its a dog. Loyal and active animals s that never seem to waver in their conviction to protect their owners. I'm sorry you've lost a friend Dr. Oliver, but I hope that he lived an invigorating life full of great smells and scratches.
