My Featured Blogger this week is Kit Troyer, a former news reporter and defense attorney, now a blogger and stay-at-home dad. There’s something very compelling about Kit’s writing. Maybe it’s the skills honed as a reporter and defense attorney. Or maybe it’s simply the fact that he’s a gifted communicator who cares deeply about the issues and people (or, in this case animals) he writes about.

Thanks for sharing this. It was a wonderful if sad read.
OMG. I wanted to read this and I didn’t want to read it at all. So sweet. So sad. So deeply poignant. Thank you for sharing this beautiful art, Mitch.
Truly my pleasure, Russ.
This was a tear-jerker for me. Our little dog, Hollywood, is into his 16th year. Some days he limps (but doesn’t slow down any) and some days runs around like a puppy. In spite of being deaf and having cataracts in both eyes, he still seems determined to enjoy life, mostly through chasing his food which I toss down the hall one piece at a time, sniffing every inch of our walks. (Not “exercise” by any stretch of the imagination.) and snuggling with his mama. I will always think of him as my puppy, and I will miss him when the time comes. 💔
(Meanwhile, my daughter’s family has a new labradoodle like this one – one giant stuffed toy! 💕)
Awww, I completely understand, Annie.
Simplicity is so stress free! Nice share Mitch!
Wow! This was a tough read, but a great one at the same time. I have had to say goodbye to too many furry buddies over the years. Their love is so pure and perfect. When they leave us, it leaves such a huge whole in our hearts. Thanks for putting up this post.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to pick up a box of Kleenex tissues the next time I’m at the store. 🙂
