no one can know for you, you have to know yourself. when charlie came back from the weekend at her new home she was sweet and calm and she was not at all anxious about the change. she knows. she's a confident soul now. that helps me to make the change. i feel the sadness and will miss her dearly but i feel happy to share her with the world, as i felt on every walk. she knows i was her walker, and i'm here for her. she's a realist, like i want to be, and am becoming, gradually, due largely to the good influence of the dog realm. we helped each other to be ourselves in the world and the community. on the path of heart we continue each other.
