When I was 24-years-old, I met my match in the form of a less than 3 pound puppy. I was lucky enough to spend 18 years with her as my near constant companion, the witness to everything I experienced. This was written after her death in August 2021 as a way to process her passing, honor her badass life, and support others who have lost a pet.
