Congratulations on the two year anniversary! It's very tricky starting from zero, but you've done an amazing job and have built something very special here. This was a very enjoyable Chapter 3, too. The end. Haha... 😎

Thank you so much, Chris! Your support, your readership and encouragement are deeply appreciated! I don’t know how far you are in your reading here at Critters, but our beloved Senior Shining Star has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We are continuing to characterize her in the Detective Stories and she continues to shine. Thank you again for being here with us. Furever.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. She was a lovely little dog, and you gave her a wonderful life. I think that's a beautiful tribute to keep her in the stories. I'm a couple of weeks behind, yes. But I'm savouring the story, and always enjoy spending time here... 😎

Thank you so much, Chris. It feels really healing to continue to feature Star in the stories. I wish that she had stayed here at home with us for longer, but even a little while is furever for a senior dog. Writing about her feels really healing. I’m so grateful for your appreciation for Star and her story.:) We are always grateful for your readership at your own pace. Thank you again.

That is one of the most special things about writing Fiction, yes. It's a way of keeping memories alive, and staying connected with family and friends, and pets, after they've gone, because fragments of them, and who they were, can live on in our stories. Whether you're writing about them directly, or in a more metaphorical or symbolic way, as I often do. It's very powerful, and very beautiful, and it can definitely help with the grieving and healing process... 😎
