@BradReedWrites Very belatedly, thanks so much for that welcome. I'm still trying to figure this all out...

I've been living close to this stunning poem by Merwin since my good brave dog has had failing health.

The Name of the Air

It could be like that then the beloved
old dog finding it harder and harder
to breathe and understanding but coming
to ask whether there is something that can
be done about it coming again to
ask and then standing there without asking

–W. S. Merwin
