Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear about Penny. I know exactly what you are going through and you are not being dramatic, or absurd. Losing a pet is so heartbreaking and and earth shattering. You have given Penny such a special life and when it is time for her to go, she will be met on the other side by so many other good boys and girls, including my cat Rose who I lost last summer. Rose was a bit (a lot) of a princess, but I'm sure she'll be happy to share her toys and spots in the sun. Sending you love xo

I am sorry you are going through all the hard things but grateful you are open to sharing because it DOES help those of us also going through hard things who can't always bring themselves to share (for all the same reasons...what will people think?). I think you are awesome!

Your newsletter is one of my most fav and I feel like we’re friends…even if only a one sided newsletter 😆 sending you much love navigating your kitty, mom and all life seems to never stop throwing at us! (But I’m not sure so can get on board with tomato smelling items 🤣) ❤️

All caps YES to the tomato vine goodies from Mrs. Meyers. I did not know this was coming and was stopped in my tracks when I saw a full display of it at my local Meijer. Smells very boujee on a budget.

I had to say goodbye to my girl after 15 years in early 2020. It was the most heartbreaking time, so many tears as she'd been by my side through everything. All I can say is you don't want them to suffer and to instead recall with happiness the gift of their presence. I am thinking of you & appreciate your writing ♥️
