This post made me laugh and cry at the same time. My sweet yellow lab, Chloe, died last week. It is amazing how much space one pet can take up in our hearts! We had 13 years to love her, so it is very quiet & lonely without her. Whenever I was in my sewing room, she would be right underfoot. I have not been able to sew & quilt yet, since being in that room without her still brings me to tears.
