Last Walk Back From the Vet

You stand
at the dog park.
Remembering, crying.
Hold tight to an empty lead, but
he's gone.

So, so sad Tom. Deep emotions expressed within a few lines. The ‘ empty lead’ is really profound. Blessings to you.

I can relate. I lost my 19 year old mini aussie this past February. I miss her so much!
