Grief is the cost of love, but knowing that makes it no easier to pay. RIP Dipstick, Companion, Friend, Protector, Strength. While I never got to pet that good dawg, I’m honored to memorialize her in this tarot card tattoo. We mixed a bit of her ashes into the ink we used for the eyes of the tattoo. Tattooed or not, the animals that come and go from our lives will never be forgotten.
It often seems that we humans don’t really deserve dogs, but I think they’re there to help teach us to be better—to love one another, live life with boundless enthusiasm and to live in the moment.
