My wife and I have rescued and had to say goodbye to 11 dogs over the years. Every loss has been terribly difficult but we really can’t conceive of our life without dogs so we happily keep adopting (we currently have 3). I love y0ur recipes and have been making your Favorite Veggie Burgers for many years. I always make a 3x or 4x batch and have them on hand in the freezer, they are so convenient. It is the very best veggie burger recipe I know of. Thank you!

I’m sorry you have to spend some years without her but I am sure she had a wonderful life here. Hugs

I was wondering how cookie was doing or how old she was at this point, and just saw that she passed away in 2023. As I sit here with my soon to be 13 year-old pup, your post reminded me to appreciate every moment I have with him. I’m sorry for your loss, but glad you had so many great years with her! Thank you for the amazing recipes on your blog.

I just noticed that sweet Cookie is now memorialized here. I lost my dear Molly girl who also was my “first baby” this year. How wonderful to have a pure soul witness our life happening as we’re busy making big plans.

Thank you for this great resource, I always come here first when our produce box arrives. I’ve got more butternut squash than I know what to do with at the moment and so I came here, and now I’m in tears remembering my own sweet Molly – who also tasted more than I offered. She literally would eat anything.

I wish you could have 13 more years with her.

Most Warmly,
Katy

So again, thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family!]]> Kate, I am just now seeing this writing, obviously quite a bit later. I am so, so sorry for your loss. I follow your blog, and often when I’m looking for a recipe online, I look for the Cookie and Kate link, because I trust your choices of food, and I love how you don’t make your recipes over complicated. I am vegan. I am also an animal lover, and have had many furry kid companions over the years. It always hurts so much when they leave a void in our life. I still tear up over a couple of the ones that I lost several years ago when I see their pictures. What a blessing they are to have in our life, to enrich our days, and share unconditional love with us. And I know we have been blessings to them as we have loved them to the best of our ability and I believe they know that. Thank you for sharing your heart. ❤️ Even though it made me wanna cry as I was reading, I know that all of us dog lovers have such a heart connection when we are missing our furry companions. So again, thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family!

I always loved your little bio that said “My dog, Cookie, eats the crumbs.” I always revisit your blog when I’m scouring for a recipe. And I didn’t see it when I looked recently! So heartbroken by this news but so happy that you are where you want to be.
