Janet

Having the joy and responsibility of being a dog owner taught me so much about empathy and love. In 2012, I found this little gem in a time and a place that was miraculous. I was not looking for a dog, but this dog found me. I've made it clear to people that know and love me that this dog was probably one of the most profound things that ever happened to me. Having the unconditional love of a dog is something that grounded me and made me a better man to this day.
June 19th, 2025, I lost my little lady, Janet. She was like a rock in my life. Never got sick; never was trouble. We were in sync in the age-old way that a man and his dog were supposed to be. Even at the end, she waited for me to come home so we could be together one last time. She was ripped away from me like ripping a Band-Aid off of a wound, but I take solace in the fact she lived a full life and was a trooper when she met her maker.
I will never have another relationship like I had with Janet, and I don't know if I want one. The world needs to know that Janet existed, and she was loved.
