It’s been a tough week for us as the Groot family. Last week, at almost fourteen and a half years, we lost our smiley girl Athena. She gave it everything until her body had no more to give. And with it, we lost our anchor, and the last piece of our old life. “Her man” Odin passed away last year.
Their photos on the wall, their lifesize canvases, are invaluable now, and walking past them every day brings a small measure of comfort.
Go find your local pet photographer. It doesn’t have to be me. Find someone that matches your vibe. Go print something real. Something large. It will make you happy. It’s some of the best money you’ll ever spend.
And give your dog a hug from us today.
We miss her so much.
