Lisa & Libby, we are crying with you as we know the awful feeling of loss too well…
We also know that Maggie was loved and had a great life with you.
“Those of us who surround ourselves with lives more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle that is easily and often breached. Yet knowing this, we still would choose to live no other way.’ – Unknown

That quote is so true.
This is such a good quote. It reminds me of something I read in a lovely article by Adam Gopnik:
“Dogs are the dignified dual citizens who plead the case for all of mute creation with their human owners. We are born trapped in our own selfish skins, and we open our eyes to the rings of existence around us… Most of the time, we collapse the circles of compassion, don’t look at the ones beyond, in order to give the people we love their proper due; we open our eyes to see the wider circles only when new creatures come in, when we realize that we really sit at the center of a Saturn’s worth of circles, stretching out from our little campfire to the wolves who wait outside, and ever outward to the unknowable.”
