Silverman’s such a cool girl. We know she’s smart. We certainly know she’s funny. A guy’s girl, too. But her Obit for her much-loved rescue, Chihuahua Pug mix, Duck, was so starkly sentimental, in the best possible way, that it hit me over the head like an anvil. She wrote about how Duck was her longest relationship (at 14 years), her best friend, her constant companion and night time spooner. About how she cradled him as the vet put him to sleep, after he’d stopped eating and drinking and was wasting away. I was crying over the keyboard.
