Nellie Came Home

Long before Nellie crossed the bridge, mom talked to us about what happens to our bodies when we don’t need them anymore. Mom explained that once our spirits cross the bridge, our days of wearing fur are over. She said…

Where’s Our Baby?

After Nellie joined our pack things felt balanced. There were two blue dogs, me and Nell. There were two old dogs, Nellie and Jack. Me and Tess were the two young dogs affectionately called the Evil Twins. How we moved…
