Little Lewa

We lost our dear puppy friend Lewa this morning, my best friends and roommates dog. I took this picture of Ruby as I couldn't manage much more today and it seemed fitting. We fall deeply for our little pup friends and they become part of our family and our lives. It hurts my heart to see her go and know we won't get to hold her and have her warmth and friendship and unconditional love any longer. I'll go to sleep tonight imagining she's cruising the skies like Falkor the luck dragon from The Neverending Story (that's what she always reminded me of).


“When you part from your friend,
you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him
may be clearer in his absence,
as the mountain to the climber
is clearer from the plain.”

― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
