“There are things you know you want in your life, that you know are good and right and true the moment you realize they exist. Things that you can only miss if you’re not paying attention. Usually, as far as I can tell, these things are dogs.”
― Kelly Harms, The Bright Side of Going Dark

“You see, the bonds of love are only strengthened when someone leaves this earth, not diminished. Some have trouble understanding that,”
― Heather Webber, Midnight at the Blackbird Café

“Everyday for Lucy’s entire dog life Jane had sliced a banana for breakfast and had miraculously dropped one of the perfect disks on to the floor where it sat for an instant before being gobbled up. Every morning Lucy’s prayers were answered, confirming her belief that God was old and clumsy and smelt like roses and lived in the kitchen. But no more. Lucy knew her God was dead. And she now knew the miracle wasn’t the banana, it was the hand that offered the banana.”
