For those of you who have read my “About me” page and know about Ben, our Golden Retriever, there is sad news.

Yesterday Ben died suddenly during a vet visit. It was totally unexpected and devastating. He was such a constant, comforting presence in the house that it feels empty here now, and very lonely. I still can’t believe he’s gone. I don’t think I can say anymore about it right now.
