When our friend Tim was hospitalized with cancer, one great worry among his friends was his dog Podin, who was elderly and big as a Shetland pony. A couple of people tried to foster him, but when he finally was taken back to the land where Tim had lived in his RV, Podin finally seemed satisfied. Then I got this email today from my friend Kris who lives on the same land:
"I just got word that Podin left us a few days ago to be with Tim. He never went far from the house here at Renacimiento, and was found out on the highway. They dug a big hole, as you can imagine, and when I get details will probably mark it with a stone of some sort."He did well here and will be missed by all. I remember Tim telling me last year that he thought it would be Podin's last summer; so now they can be together."

ah, poor Podin. His must of suffered from his broken heart. I really hope our pets will be with us in Heaven.
Awww, he died of a broken heart. Hope they are both walking on a beach somewhere.
You know why this post touched me. And I have nothing more to say.
Thank you Bliss for such an honorable send off for our dear friend.
C&K - I have the same wish. I think Podin was as contented as he could be under the circumstances, but he and Tim and been together since he was a little pup, and I know he felt like an orphan.
Jomamma - Yes, I can just picture it.
Steve - I was thinking of you when I posted it.
Yogapro - You're the one who wrote it, amiga, I just passed it on. Thanks so much for letting me know, I had wondered how Podin was doing.
Got the same email, naturally. I feel somewhat relieved by this news, because nobody would ever care for Podin like Tim did. I suspected that Podin was confused and suffering by the "abandonment" that nobody wanted to happen.
