I love and am grateful that you wrote and shared this. I think those of us who walk the edge of that deep pit know what we need to do not to collapse into it. That tears are reluctant to flow freely may be just our way of keeping balance so we can do what we need — and others need—us to do. For me, the scene of the duck sitting watch with Lisa the Goat, was enough to let a few tears loose—for all the animals, and all of us, and for my wonderful German shepherd who was my best friend. Oh, boo hoo! Thanks, Spike, as always, for your honest, wonderful post.
