    So sorry to hear about Leo. Losing a pet is so painful and leaves such a hole in our lives. I really like that quote you read about pets, it is so true. Cosmo is adorable! I’m sure he will bring you as much love and joy as Leo. And, I am right there with Amanda, cold all the time. It really does suck. Even cold, she is always such a trooper!!

    Very sorry to hear about sweet Leo. I’ve been through the loss of many of my kitties over the years and that initial hurt never diminishes. I just lost my friend Buster on October 4th who was also 15 and also had cancer. From the time it was detected to when he passed was only about two months despited his treatments. Now Wendy and I are down to nine as we have always found new ones to rescue in one way or another. Cosmo is adorable and apparently in good hands and I know he’ll have a life full of love and happiness as he gives his in return.

    • @fototripper
      @fototripper  2 дня назад

    Gavin, you need to teach your mrs. about wool and puffer jackets. Also one-time-use pocket warmers. It's a given on photo trips. There's no way out of it. Also a light weight bivvy bag,, like those emergency bags. it'll keep the heat properly good.

Each time it's harder to say good by and our dog 🐕 has been such a big part of my everyday life, it's going to be a hard one when she goes. Cosmo should have his own You Tube show.
