Forest

In April my beloved four-footed buddy, Forest, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Despite the best efforts of our vet, cancer specialists, and a wonderful canine surgeon, we lost Forest last week.


You hope until the end that somehow you will beat the odds, even thought it was clear from the first diagnosis that we would not. It is very hard to come to grips with this loss and hard to accept. And it has tinged these past weeks with sadness.


But I want to keep writing about books that I love and what's going on out there in the big wide world of publishing and printing, at least from my vantage point.

So, do stay tuned. There's more "Art Book Talk" to come ....

My dear Christina.
I'am so sorry learning about Forest and the great loss it meant to you!

You both look so beautiful in the pictures of your post.

Difficult, indeed, to come to terms with the loss of a good (the best?) friend.

I am so sorry to hear about Forest--you must be devastated. As someone with much beloved animals both past, present and I'm sure future, I truly feel your pain. He looks to have been a wonderful dog.

Sending all good vibes up to you from both of us.
