There's No Way To Make Them Understand Good-Bye

I thought this was poignant and a little sad. You can't make a dog understand how long you'll be gone.

"Where were you? You've been gone so looong!"

That's what I thought of first. I'm glad I didn't have to leave her for more than a long day's time.

Must not cry

It did the same to me. I kept thinking about how the dog must have felt alone, worried, confused, and heartbroken. A year for us, seven or so for them. Will Mom ever return?

The only thing that kept me from crying was hearing the other woman talk. She must have been a good caretaker while Mom was off to war.

Well, I cried. What a good dog.
