View all 168 ReflectionsI am deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is horrific I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose a partner. They look to their handlers as the only good humans on earth. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Sultan.
I thank both of you for your selfless service to our community.
