Olga, sweet of her to protect you. We had a little one, and I often wondered how their little bodies held those great big heats, and fury.

The bond feels so Maternal. It’s wonderful, but the the grief takes a long time to give in to the sweet memories. My heart is with you.

Thank you, Bliss, I appreciate your kind words. My Olga was so many things to me- she was my baby, then my mentor and protector, she was my most precious friend most of all… and sometimes she had some deeply spiritual connection I am currently too thick to fully understand.

She's precious! So much to learn to from dogs. Did you see that video of a dog saving a fawn from drowning?

This is special, Tracy!

I am taking time to sit and ponder “everything” and “everyone” you gave voice too and called out! Have a “precious” and enlightening season ahead, I look forward to your future work and stacks.

Love, peacefulness and rest, Sincerely you sister from another father, granola Nana G

For 10 years I was paid to write about tea and usually did posts for various special days in each month. Got away from that lately, so I enjoyed seeing your list. And it’s always interesting to learn a bit of history. And such a cute doggie! :)

I don’t know how I missed this newsletter! So much to take in! So sorry about Olga, but I’m glad to know you had so many good years with her. Pets are heartbreakers, though. I’m taking a break from animals.

The only “Olga’s” I know about are the gyros they serve in a few restaurants around Detroit, named for the departed owner, so it was really interesting to learn about Saint Olga. Quite a character! You don’t want to piss her off!

I’m so glad you caught this one and enjoyed it! My Olga had she been human would have been much like St Olga in her wild and woolly days before she reformed. 🤣🤣 Yes, I miss her terribly. I really liked your troll poem- perfect! 🥰😊✨✨
