[pet loss; grief] This has hit hard. I lost my sweet dog on Thursday night. He was a tremendous companion, a fierce protector of our home, and a very good boy. His out-of-the-blue decline happened over a few hours. I am still in shock, but grateful I was with […] [Original post on games.ngo]

"I've fixed that for you and posted it online."

"And arranged your going-away party."
