What do you call it...

 

"And when nobody wakes you up in the morning,
and when nobody waits for you at night, 
and when you can do whatever you want.
What do you call it, Freedom or loneliness?" 
Charles Bukowski

Dogless.
That's what I would call it.

And that first morning you wake up when the dog who has been your constant companion for the past 12 to 14 years Is no longer there, forever, the dog lover will, once again, know utter loneliness, unwelcome freedom, and bottomless grief.

(That is a beautiful photograph.)

Definitely heartbreak.
Hope Z is ok.

Z's snoring is filling the room like a lullaby. Thanks for asking.
