🥺🥺🥺 Oh my gosh Alex, this is so beautifully written and I appreciate your openness and vulnerability here. I really feel the love for Duke, so much so that I also felt stressed about his health until the end. The way you integrated your story and the theme of gray was so artfully done. I really really resonated with this, "A catastrophe in every arena of my life—financial turmoil, a major surgery, personal strife. The universe, in its infinite humor, reminded me with an old dog’s dyspnea that there are always more containers for chaos." I relate to your ending as well, it's funny how we can't predict what things bring color into our lives and what things are slowly sucking it out. Great piece!
I was so excited to finally see a new post from you!
From the first sentence I thought we were going to have a Where the Red Fern Grows ending. And you will write that ending someday (my cat is 13 so I’m right there with you), but I’m glad you didn’t have to write it today. ❤️
I have an incredible son and grandpup. Two souls who found each other, and helped save each other.
And so do I!
:)

Just rip my heart out! Geeeeez. I don’t know what else to say. It’s beautiful.
Haha thanks Charlie, and thanks again for all your help as this one came together.

Duke sounds like a true friend. Such a good boy.
That makes two us. Thanks Pam.
