I saw you and Momo in Boulder, CO while you were promoting your 1st Children's book. You told us to pay attention to where we are, find beauty in the everyday, in your surroundings etc... That's not a direct quote, but the idea stuck with me. When I walk my dog then and now, I have noticed so many small things, and little details in my neighborhood. AS well as, I have met so many people because of my dog.

I love your writing and always can relate.

Thanks

Amy

I’ve been following you and enjoying your photographs and newsletters for years now, loving all your dogs from afar, because you manage to put into words how much a dog can do, but it’s gotten a new level since I’ve had to put my dog of a decade down in the beginning of December (we found tumors in her face in May & she had surgery removing her left eye and eye socket and the furthest part of her jaw, and then she had chemo and she was so uncaring and happy through it all, but it came back in the right side of her face and the moment I could tell she was in pain I knew I had to make the right decision for her and let her go while she was still happy and well). My precious angel Billy had been my entire world for a decade, my ginger cocker spaniel/teckel who was the light and love of my life - I’d been struggling with my mental health for the entirety of my middle and high school, and it was really only thanks to her that I started seeing the beautiful and the good and the happy again in the world, so I’ve always recognised us in you and Momo, but I’ve really been struggling the past two months since I’ve had to say goodbye to her & you coming with this story now feels like the universe helping me along a little. A long, long, long message with much chaos and little coherence to thank you for everything you do - for sharing your journey and your dogs with us, and to let you know that you actively make a difference - for many people, I imagine, but definitely for this 26 year old in Belgium whose world has been very dark the past two months without her personal source of light and warmth that was her dog. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
