It was a glimpse of what he had been and could be again, as if his spirit was just waiting to burst free. It was quite a special moment.<br /><br />Teresa, they do make our lives better. I lost Butch's "big sister," Kadi, 11 months ago and knew then that I wouldn't have Butch much longer. As much as I miss both of them, I'm so glad to have Levi. He's young and goofy and makes me laugh even when I don't think I want to.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-41014138766925015372012-02-11T16:19:16.152-06:002012-02-11T16:19:16.152-06:00Having to put down several dogs of my own due to o...Having to put down several dogs of my own due to old age or illness, I cried when I read this.

Honestly in the grand scheme of things, I wonder if that's more for us than for them. Like it helps us let go more easily. When I read of his passing, I thought immediately of your post on old dogs and children. Almost like it was a tribute to Butch.sdcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-52301505121497168042012-02-10T18:41:07.797-06:002012-02-10T18:41:07.797-06:00Thanks, ladies.
