Similarly, when soldiers have their first reunion with the dogs. Like this. (ANNNDDD I'm crying at my desk). .
You are a bad bad person! This opens the floodgates. I can't. I just can't.

Reading about people losing animals, even if the animal has lived a long and happy life. It just makes me lose my marbles.

Those Sarah Mclaughlin ASPCA commercials...no. Just. no.

I can't think about the family that formerly owned my dog leaving him in the high kill shelter he was rescued from. I'm just envisioning him going in to the place and thinking it was great and exciting...and being left in a cage and seeing his humans walk away. I just imagine him crying and being so sad and alone (and now I'm crying and he doesn't understand)


EDIT: more crying::

In November, when I landed in Glasgow...I cried. As soon as I got off the plane and stepped outside into the rain, I lost it. Its my home, more than any place I have lived. There's a certain light quality, a certain moisture to the air, a crispness...it's like an old friend, and the friends I made there are the best and most steadfast I've ever had, and I miss them like I'd miss a part of my body. And I'm crying again.
...don't judge me.
