His ears were often the first thing to catch my tears.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning In The Soul of Animals Gary Kowalski writes about our animals that they are "closer than our own breathing-and our soul will suffer when they are gone." It is a selfish suffering, a suffering about what I miss from him. His big steady presence, his quiet strength, his ability to know with uncanny precision when he needed to come and stand alongside me. He made me laugh, at times he made me cry, but he always made me love. So in selfishness I miss all he gave me and the whole in my heart is in the shape of his unconditional dedication to loving me. The third and empty food dish breaks my heart and my eyes are swollen from crying. Despite the pain which feels as though is about to break me, I wouldn't trade one single day with him to avoid the pain. I love you buddy, sleep well and tell Bell Bell how much I love her too.
