28
Jan
Since New Year’s Eve Day 2000, I have had huskies in my life.
I was also married for a chunk of those, worked in an office for a chunk of those and lived closer to my friends.
But since 12/31/00, I have spent about 5.5 months without a husky in my life. Without a husky following me around. Without a husky keeping me on schedule. Without a husky sleeping 5 feet away from me.
It’s January 28, 2022. That is a lot of years/months/days/hours spent with a husky. And very, very, very few without one.
After my divorce I did not feel lonely. After moving to the mountains permanently around the same time and working from home and not in an office with other humans, I never felt lonely. But right now I feel terribly alone.
