Oh Leanne, I’m so sorry to hear about Milo 💔🥺 You must miss him so much, it’s just devastating to lose these sweet angels when it’s their time to go. What a beautiful passage you shared from Robert’s piece—dogs’ love is woven into every fiber of our being, and we’re the lucky ones to receive it. Milo won the family lottery the day you brought him home, and you really did give him such a full, beautiful, love-filled life. What a goodest boy!!! All dogs go to heaven, as Michael always says. Sending big huge hugs your way ❤️❤️❤️
JB, thank you for this beautiful message. I wanted to send you a voice note on your birthday (a belated happy B, I hope you had the most wonderful day with your pack!) but this happened with Milo, and my voice is not that steady right now. I do love Robert's piece and how it is so raw, yet real and relatable. It's incredible the difference in our home dynamics today, and how the routine has already shifted, but I still feel his presence here. I LOVE MICHAEL'S QUOTE! Thanks again for your reassuring words 💙💙
We had the best time! Hahahaha I do that too when I'm watching those games. So fun to tear them to shreds from the couch (whilst eating hot chips and drinking beer).
I had to pause reading this whilst I was stood waiting to meet a friend as I was getting a bit teary. What a lovely testimonial to the best ‘Broome special’ dog. RIP Milo.
Thank you for the beautiful pup plant, I had a tear when I saw it on my doorstep today. Milo was the ultimate Broome special, such a wonderful happy boy.
I am SO SO Sorry to hear about Milo. Maybe he and Barley are frolicking together, those across the globe twins! Be sure to honor the grief, Barley's snuck up on me for absolute months after. Sometimes even still now, but not nearly as often. time and all that...
Regarding that first draft, I love starting messy. Sometimes I call it Beta Play. Write something TERRIBLE. gets rid of those blank page blues. It's one of the ideas from BoredLess Playful Strategies Card Deck in the "Creative Block" category.
Thanks Acey, that's why your message meant so much to me earlier this week. I can't believe your timing on that. Thank you re- honouring the grief, and I hope M and Barley get to finally meet up there!
It was tough, and I don't think I could express in words the loss I feel, but that article from Robert Dessaix absolutely does on my behalf. Thanks, Sally.
I am sorry to hear about Milo, Leanne. I am glad you were able to give him the greatest life and I am sure he will be waiting for you on the other side to go for another run together.
Thank you for your helpful ideas for how to get through the hard part of writing the first drafts - I think I need to start implementing the 'just sit and write for a set period of time' idea.

Aww I'm so sorry Leanne! RIP Milo, what an amazing time you got to have with him.
Love the 'one job' thing as well. I often yell that at the TV when the footy players drop the ball. Ha!

HUGE hug to you Leanne on the loss of Milo. What a wonderful choice he made in parents (place heart emoji here)
Yes, it was absolutely the best reciprocal relationship, thank you so much, Claire

RIP Milo :( Great newsletter Leanne. That would have been a tough one to write.

Thank you for your lovely words, Virginia x
