Awww!! I remember when Rylo was just five years old and our cat Leon the same... Leon will be ten in June. As crazy as he is, he has been a comfort through any unhappy times, and entertainment always. Great story, Justin.

We all need some companionship. And dogs are some of the best companions.

Great story, Justin. My old hound dog Duke passed away in March of 2020 just a few weeks before his 12th birthday. He had lived much longer than the average for bloodhounds, so I am thankful to have had so many years with him; but still I was heartbroken. Funny how God knows exactly what we need. A month after Duke passed, a little black dog came running out of the woods towards our house. She's been with us ever since, and it's uncanny how much her personality resembles old Duke's.

I like the story, but most hardcore drinkers don't have a buffet of name brand booze to pour out. Even if you're lucky enough to afford a call name brand, at a certain point you're down to buying one " comfort " booze.
