Welcome to Steemit!
I can relate to your dog story.. Mine passed away about a year ago, and I still haven't been able to let go of him fully. That's the downside of pets :-(
Anyways, great introduction! Looking forward to read more from you. Followed. Feel free to follow me as well. A bigger audience is alway motivating :-)
Followed, of course. And I've just posted another installment.
Thjaks!
