lugh and sappho

i just heard about the tragic passing of a lovely pup i was lucky to meet, lugh. i was also saddened last fall to hear sappho had gone on to be reunited with the so much more sane venus. it’s terrible to lose a pet, and there’s something uniquely awful about the absence of a dog, who becomes such a central part of our daily cadence and rhythm. but i’m comforted to think of the two of them frolicking with venus and zephyr, twinkle casting a disdainful (yet slightly envious) eye on all of those silly canines. a few pictures in their honor:

my heartfelt sympathies to those who loved and cared for lugh and sappho so well . . .
