This book reminds me of personal connections that we have with animals of our own. We all have or had a pet in our lives that has made a difference and didn't want to think about when the time would come for them to leave us. This story shows that no matter what happens the animal lives on forever.

Whelp! I got so many #picturebooks for #BBRC that I was forced to take the bus home instead of walk. My arm would‘ve fallen off 😂 I went a little overboard and got a tad distracted...so I have a feeling I missed some letters. I suppose I‘ll have to go back and get more once I‘m done with these. What a shame 😉

This weird & wonderful, smelly little meatball passed away today. He was so dumb but so lovable; he never wanted to sit near you, he wanted to sit ON you. He snored when he slept. He loved potato chips & Clementines. He liked to watch TV & I swear he stole the remote more than once. He had the wiggliest butt of any dog I‘ve ever met. He was the best pet my family has ever had. He lived a long, lazy life, which is what I hope to do. RIP Sargey. 💞
