The dull ache of loss.

I miss my dog.  She was my constant and faithful companion.  We could read one another like a neon sign and our love was truly without conditions.

I have shed a river a tears since she died on June 30th.  And I will shed an ocean more before I am done.

I hate this society that devalues the life of an animal.  Hell, we devalue each others lives.  Unless you are fair-skinned, with perfect teeth and wash board abs, you are a waste of protein.

She was so much more than the capacity of most people.  

I have no one I can talk to about my grief.  I just want to retreat into the comfortable and consoling dark of night and dance with her shining spirit.
