I am participating in the March Slice of Life Challenge: A slice a day for all of March. You should do it too! Thank you, Two Writing Teachers! Readers, check out their site, and start slicing!
the dog is crying in his crate even though he's been sleeping in a crate up until 6 weeks ago when susie died the dog is crying in his crate even though we moved it to the room he loves because we didn't want him to be lonely the dog is crying in his crate even though I could really use a moment of peace a moment that isn't a reminder that I can't keep everyone happy the dog is crying in his crate even though I gave him lots of love and a treat as if to remind me, "You didn't let your human babies cry it out."
On a Thought 
There is so much emotion in this slice. Sadness filled me as I read it, especially the part where you said, “until 6 weeks ago when susie died…” I hope your dog isn’t crying again tonight. Thanks for the slice.
