What a beautiful story; thank you for sharing. Chiara da Lua is a beautiful name for your beautiful dog, inside and out. I am so sorry for your loss. Your pets have lived long lives and I know they were loved dearly. Yes, when you are ready, the one that you choose or the one that chooses you, will be very lucky. I have had pets since the day I was born and can't imagine my life without them. Thanks for the compliment on my contest. Good Luck! :)
