The house lost its witness when the animal died. The empty leash hook is doing too much emotionally. I keep stepping around the spot where they used to sleep. No one prepared me for how much of the house was actually their personality. The grief shows up hardest at night when nobody is doing the little patrol of the hallway. A good animal can hold a whole house together without anyone noticing until the thread is gone.
