Awwww. I’m sorry Jenny. Our pets are our silent friends who nonetheless make our lives so much richer. I’ve enjoyed reading about Floppy through the years and would be sad without reading this lovely rumination. I love the shout out to our dear Paula, who has never been afraid to run towards these instances.

Whenever we had to put one of our dogs down, I always thought, "We took him [or her] as far as we could." But my wife eventually corrected me – she told me that it was the dog who had taken us. As always, she was right. Thank you for the story of faithful Floppy, rabbit of note.
