Hunter says......cont'd.

Hunter said, "…why are you crying?”

And I said, “.....’cuz I’m sad, Hunter,  I miss Glenn…”

“yes, that’s the one….”

“but he is here. I can smell him…”

 “well, that’s great, Hunter, but I can’t anymore…”

“that’s ok, I’ll do it for you….  You see, smells never go away. They may fade a bit, but they are always there, at least for us dog types… and other animals too.  It’s only you humans that can’t smell very well… and that’s how we know things, by what our noses tell us, and I’ve got a pretty big one…(and yes he does!).  And he is still here,  ‘cuz I can smell him…… everything he has ever touched has his smell all over it.. it’s everywhere….and it won’t go away – ever. I’ll always be able to know that he was here… "
