This is so difficult. My darling Poe has died.
Some of you might have remembered recently this post

If you have the patience to read it all, thank you. If not, the short story is that Poe, my sunflower/guava/tangerine/apple/loquat/nails/toys eater was the puppy of my brother in New Mexico who died quite suddenly of a septic infection at age 40 and came with his partner, my brother's other dog Honey, to live with "my Dave", DD Henrietta & dog Sally in Cailfornia.
We had an amazing year. He was 105 pounds of love. Never barked. Just wanted to hold hands. And eat everything in sight.
Then this happened:

For those who haven't read this:
My BIL took his life last week (we were close) and his estranged wife came to stay with her rattus rattus (roof rat) and BIL's sister came from England for the occasion. So the wife and the sister were leaving my house while I slept at 5am this morning to go to Texas to retrieve the remains of my BIL and they accidently let Poe out of the garden and he ran down 4 blocks, over 3 blocks to the freeway and was killed.
Our hearts are broken.
Everything in our home was engineered around loving Poe and keeping him from eating my seedlings. His bed is still in my room. He was a big baby.
(I am going to post more pics now- please just love on him as we did)
See in the photo- he just wanted to go OUT even though we have a huge garden and he got walked all of the time:
