If I could read your mind, dog

Debby Swihart @debbyswihart
As legendary musician Gordon Lightfoot was laid to rest this weekend, one loyal friend wouldn't leave his side...

According to Lightfoot’s longtime publicist Victoria Lord, Taurus belongs to one of Lightfoot’s tour people, and they bonded while on the road together. “He used to go on the road with him and wait for Gordon side stage,” Victoria Lord told Newsner. “Gordon loved dogs.”

But every story I see about his death just hits me in the feels.

Mine was so attached to me, and me to her, that even if I went on a short vacation she would run away, looking for me, not eat or sleep, etc. If I died first she would not understand and it would likely kill her from stress and a broken heart. Meanwhile, I'm miserable without her but we will be together again, I know that.

I'm so glad to see all the admiration and accolades being directed at Lightfoot. I listened to him and admired him for more than 50 years.

His dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves.
