Losing a Companion Animal, with Melinda Schmidt (ep. 6‪)‬ A Corner of the River

I'm joined by another special guest, Melinda Schmidt, to talk about the recent passing of her beloved dog Pippa, and how she is gradually processing that passing and the hole Pip left in her personal and family life.
Melinda once interviewed me about a Christian approach to animal welfare for her former Moody Radio podcast Bring to Mind, an offshoot of Midday Connection. It was a real encouragement to me then, and it's an honor to turn the table so to speak. Always the encouraging conversation partner, she was very patient with my technical bumbling and long-way-about interview style (loosely defined). Thank you, Melinda!
