A lot of people leave Arkansas and most of them come back sooner or later. They can’t quite achieve escape velocity.

Just writing that we traded in our 2012 jeep wrangler Sahara which marked our start here and upgraded Mac to a 2019 4Runner which I’ve also wanted
Feels like the end and now the start of a new chapter
Bella died in March while I was away at a conference. Sophie started losing weight quickly in the last two months. I had a conference Oct 14–15 and was worried she would die while I was away. She didn’t. In fact she seeemed to get better and was sitting up as usually asking for a treat. I gave her a treat. Went to work on some notes and a hour so later, I was told Sophie had died Wednesday Oct 18th, 2023
I am amazed and how it seems easier to cry over a dog dying. The only time I remember my dad crying is when Tarufo died. When his dad and mom died, he was upset but I never saw a tear. Strange that. I don’t know what to make of that. Even now. But it’s true it seems like crying about you dead dog is easier. I have no explanation.
