I tried to vote for you. Don't know if it functioned or not though. I love your pix.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Ciel
I'll vote for you then. I misread. To me, August 7 at 11:59 p.m. meant tonight at 11:59 p.m.. I should have read the next sentence... :)

Re: Re: Re: Ciel
I think submissions have ended for the photo contest... voting should be open now, though.

Re: Re: Ciel
I can just imagine. I'm sorry for your pain. Our pets are family. I'm editing the poem a bit.
Also, would it be okay with you if I entered a picture in the contest? I was thinking of the Dove of Peace cloud formation.

Re: RPresta
Tears were flowing all while writing this one, everything surfacing and 'now' again.
I look forward to seeing your poem!

Re: Corbin Dallas,
I am so sorry for your loss. We never forget though the pain is diluted by life going on. We lost our Davy Dog a few months ago very suddenly, and my voice still breaks when I talk about it.

This poem is so touching. Very beautifully told, Ciel. We still feel the ache from our family pet members who have departed. Thank you. I will post one poem I'd already written about a pet who is gone, though it's not as beautifully written as yours. :)

Well said. And it's so true.
Pets are so much more than that.

Whoa......you brought tears to my eyes.....I lost my little Mama, Bianca last Thursday, a maltese that was Joe Love's little girl, she was 13.
It's a beautiful poem.......thank you for sharing.
