Ulla died six years ago today. I still remember the feel of her silky ears, the clean smell of her coat when I buried my face in her neck, the ice blue of her left eye. I thought my life was over when she died, but Nacho had other ideas. Now after five short years, he’s gone too. 1/2

Just finished reading C.M. Kushins’ biography of Elmore Leonard, Cooler Than Cool, and re-watching the first two episodes of Justified with people who get it — Patty and Seth, my wife and son. This is a good moment.

Justified S1E1 features music by both JJ Cale AND Justin Townes Earle. I had forgotten, but I’m blown away.

You’re home now, Nacho. No more fighting to breathe, no more arthritis causing you pain. You’re my boy and I’ll always love you. I miss my big red Aussie. Life isn’t the same without you. #rescuedog #aussie
