Hi, Dogpack,
I can see how you came up with your handle, I think. Your story was moving to me because I understand how animals can teach us and we can teach them in turn. In my case, in my story "Buster Brown, Canine Cop," I cried almost the whole time remembering how close we were. I suspect you felt your emotion rising, writing, "We Three."

From the moment he was born, Buster was always there. I never trained him, I only spent every moment with my partner. He was allowed to be my official partner when I was an animal control officer. He even had a badge and ID. The cops all loved to give him belly rubs and wrestle with him on the squadroom floor.

So your writing about Bella and Shady is a story that is meaningful and you are right about, "When not knowing can then not asking..." I find that out often!

Your Friend,
Lesley
