Episode 323 - The Gentle Soul Who Saved Me

In this episode, we conclude our three-part series about the passing of our dog. This episode is not even about Popcorn but reaches back three years to when Aden suddenly died while I was in Baltimore speaking at a conference. A panicked call from the SPCA set things in motion. Aden came to us in 2007 as a 3-month-old puppy. On New Year’s Eve, an accident caused a speaker to fall on his toes and break them all. I blamed myself for carelessness. Despite surgery, he often had a limp. Forgiving and loving, he enjoyed life to the fullest. When he died, and they asked what to inscribe on his box of ashes, I immediately said, “The gentle soul who saved me.”
