a strange sensation.
Last night as I was getting ready for bed my dog came into my room.
She never does that.
It's hard for her to get down the stairs because there is something wrong with her leg and she limps.
She slept there last night, breathing quietly. I left the door open for her all night, but she slept beside me.
Before I lay down she looked at me with her big brown eyes.
They are starting to cloud over because she is aging.
She can't talk but I'm pretty sure she was telling me that she is lonely and that she is dying.
She never does that.

that was touching. seriously.
although i DID just spend the whole day reading about people dying, with a few other words squished inbetween.
(i can't believe i used the word 'touching,' i hate it. sorry.)
i really like your dog. animals are a lot better at showing what they're feeling than i am. and they actually do something about it. if i'm lonely my first tendency is to wallow in self-pity, but animal just goes and finds some company. chinook is smart.
I recommend reading this. It might express some of what you're feeling. And even if it doesn't, it's worth a read. I'm gonna link to it on my blog. Go to
