Not long after Klejne, my big, beautiful half-Golden died unexpectedly, I wrote to the one person I knew would understand – Dean Koontz, the bestselling novelist known for his suspense thrillers with their elements of horror, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and satire.
Lovely tribute to your pup and what a way to welcome his brother. We lost our dog Emma in 2021. We knew it was coming, so we took her on her last big adventure to see the Pacific ocean for the first and only time in her life. She promptly peed in it--she loved to pee in rivers and lakes too--and seemed to delight just as much as we did in each evening's sunset. We thought we would wait to get another dog, but within a couple of months, we had two, and a year later two more. There's nothing like a dog's love. 💙
Thanks TK ~ and you're so right, there is nothing like the exchange of love between a person and their dog. There's also something about it I find very healing.
I'm so sorry about Emma. We had a similar experience with Klejne with the Atlantic a month before she died. I didn't realize until much later how old she looked in the photographs from that trip, but I'm happy and consoled she had those days at the beach, and that I had them with her ❤️

Wow. Klenje, Kiitos and Koontz— a wonderful trio. Thanks for sharing the story of these beings and their connections :)
How fun, I hadn't thought of adding the K of Koontz to it. And then there's another K - me ☺️
Thanks Rebecca!
