“The dog is gone. We miss him. When the doorbell rings, no one barks. When we come home late, there is no one waiting for us. We still find his white hairs here and there around the house and on our clothes. We pick them up. We should throw them away. But they are all we have left of him. We don’t throw them away. We have a wild hope—if only we collect enough of them, we will be able to put the dog back together again.” -Lydia Davis
I so easily relate to the above poem. Every little Harley hair is so very precious to me. His little hairs are all I have left of him, physically. -Rudi (Harley’s mom)
