A lovely story about how we love our animal friends and the wonderful memories they leave us with.

I thought so as well. Easily relatable for those of us who have had the privilege and heart break of those relationships.

What a special relationship that was! I was hoping for a picture of the pair of them!

I developed close relationships with several of our farm animals too, but since they were shorter term, it didn't have a chance to get as close as they did!

I was also wishing there was a picture.

Some very sweet lines in this little gem. Thank you for sharing it, Robert. Who is Gary Phillips? He wrote something special here.
