  4. So sad to read this Nupur :( I had never known the love they give us until we got a pup of our own. Now just the thought of something like this makes me tear up. Hope you and the kids are doing ok. - sujata

    1. Sujata- yes, you only understand their unconditional love after experiencing it for yourself. My son is a bit oblivious (likely too young) but my daughter is devastated.

  5. I’ve been thinking about him all these weeks since you posted about his health. So hard to lose a pup. What a wonderful home your family created for your fur baby. Sending hugs and love to you all.
