Oh my gosh, it’s been forever! I’m absolutely amazed by all the lovely comments I received on my last post — thank you everyone who left some kind words of understanding and encouragement after my dog died, and to those people who left their own stories of loss — they really helped. They are also in and of themselves really beautiful monuments to the pets that have brightened many peoples’ lives

I was so depressed for a while I couldn’t bear to blog or email, but at last I’ve recovered and am feeling happy again and thought I’d start posting once more. (And I’ll start going through my huge backlog of email! I promise!) Other than being absolutely miserable for a few months, I had a pretty uneventful autumn. I did manage to become almost completely vegan, which I’ve really been enjoying, oddly enough. :) Of course, it wasn’t too difficult a transition because I’d already spent much of my time being vegan due to being unwilling to eat any non-humanely-sourced eggs/dairy while out at most restaurants/parties. But I’ve been enjoying it nonetheless, though I have been surprised by how difficult it is to be vegan in the San Francisco bay area. I mean, I’m sure it’s easier than some other places, but honestly, I thought it wouldn’t be quite so difficult.

I have tried a few new cruelty-free products, and I’ll definitely be posting review of those in days to come.

Thank you again everyone who left wonderful comments on my last post — I’m so very, very comforted. It’s nice to know there are other people out there who similarly find losing a pet to be a horrifically painful event. It’s so hard when they’re such a positive part of your life, you know?

Glad to be back!
