Hello Mountain Ash and thanks for the welcome and the comments. You're right to call this a tribute. I didn't think of it that way when I first shared about Shadow, but with everyone's incredibly loving stories of how they felt when they lost a pet... it has become a tribute. Blessings to all who have gone through a similar grief.
