I'm simultaneously mourning the loss of my Lily of the Pond - our family dog who passed last spring in a family reunion intended for all of us to not deny that life can hurt. After hitting the dog beach and taco stands in Huntingon beach, we cried with good tears, mostly because we'd managed to pull together for this goodbye. We sobbed like babies and I didn't say it, but I worried. Without Lily, and my health and my depression, I might not get out of bed. Max and Bethany fixed that. One month later I had a showdog, a rescue, a Cocker Spaniel. She's Ms. Emmy and she's all that. Remember Lady and the Tramp. She's the Lady and I'm the tramp.
