Om ami dewa hrih

I sang to her as a whisper while she drifted into slumber...

There is less love in the house while laurel is gone. 

One less sentient being's energy to cajole and enjoy.

But I spent much time with the pups. I wents for a walk alone with Billy today: I want Charlotte to be okay to see us all go out of the house and she stay behind.

A thirty minutes errand.

When I came back, she was still sitting at the door, waiting quietly.

She truly is a stupendous dog. We scored big time.
