Your heartfelt words and beautiful pictures of you and your Romeo are such a lovely tribute to a beautiful, tender, loving soul. I am happy that Cotton learned from the best and will no doubt carry on Romeo’s gentle path with you. You will meet again when it is your turn to cross the bridge. Until then, hold your heart with gentle hands. I wish you more days of peace than sadness, and may your beautiful memories of your dear, sweet Romeo continue to be a celebration of an incredible life well lived.

Carrie xoxo

At the suggestion of a good friend of mine who is a talented clairvoyant I read a book of channeled material about the afterlife. There was a good page about our pets and how they are loved and cared for while they wait for us to arrive. Cried the whole time I read it. I really believe that. much love to you

What I wanted to say: I told and I still tell my dear Oki (she died october 2016) that she is to come for me when I die.
You said something similar on Facebook and it touched me deeply.

Greetings from Silvia in Germany

I DO hope there still might be a Silken Windhound in your future. 🙂 Living with them is life changing in the best kind of way. 🙂

For a few years, I was enamored of the idea of getting a silken windhound after my own dog crossed the rainbow bridge. I held off because of travel plans and lack of nearby breeders or rescue dogs. Just love seeing your Romeo and his grandchildren. What a lasting legacy Romeo developed. He helped you and so many others. May you develop an equally strong bond with your next furry companion. Hugs to you1

I, too, am glad you got to encounter Romeo so many years ago at the conference. It makes me very happy that my ending sentiments touched you in the context of working with patients during your DI. You are so dear to me. Thank you always, and much love to you.

I don’t doubt that, whenever you do choose to write about Romeo’s passage as it relates to other events, it will be beautiful. But sometimes images are as powerful as words, and that’s so very true in this post. It brought tears to the corners of my eyes; I’m so very glad that I had a chance to encounter Romeo, however quickly, at VVC these many years ago.

I’m also so touched by your closing sentiment. Applying it to my own life, I think about how much it resonates with regards to my internship year. While it’s true that I saw many instances of food and nutrition therapy doing incredible things, I also saw how much of healing resides in patients support systems and openness to receiving help and yes—love.

I continue to honor Romeo’s life. Sending hugs.
