Jon Katz is one of my all-time favorite authors. He writes about his dogs and his life on his farm (Bedlam Farm) in upstate New York. I have really enjoyed watching him evolve in his spirituality over the last few years. Recently he began volunteering with his dogs and taking them to hospice homes. I have learned so much from him in regards to hospice and the dying. His entry today was so moving and beautiful that I just had to share it. Be sure to scroll down a bit on the page to get to "Farewell-to-Etta" story.
