    Thank you sweetheart. I wanted to add another picture of the trio (doggie, piggy & lucky who's currently out with me now in Nepal) but I couldn't figure out how to delete my post and re-submit. Hahahaha... Indeed, Doggie has been my best friend, soul family, counselor, coach, mentor, healer, lover, and all. We've lots of awesome adventures, pictures and videos together and perhaps I can share them on BoredPanda! Much gratitude & blessings 🙏💕🤗
