Commented on your blog so I won't repeat my thoughts here too but just wanted to reiterate the brilliant job done on Pie: The Movie. And yes Clare I noticed and thank you for that! ❤️ Made me feel extra special, close to Pie, and warmed my heart! My connection to this girl will be forever! Love you my friend!

Wait? Am I missing something? I think Miss Pie was part kitty. Cause she sure sounded like one here.
Thank you Clare, this chased my blues away today. Well done and Simply adorable.

I really, really, really don't know how you do it Clare. Your grief is still so raw, you are so gutted and broken still, and yet you are svle to transcend your heartbreak and "step into the essesnce of Pie"!
And the "essence of Pie" is PURE FUN...PURE JOY...PURE LIGHT....PURE HAPPINESS.....PURE ADORABLENESS.... PURE BLISS
You alao captured a bit of smugness that came shining through periodically because she new she was cute as a button and she knew she had you wrapped around her paw. Some of my favorite parts of Elsie Pie the Movie are when she sits up and waves her paws at you. And when she talks back to you with such sass.....yeah....every single second of Pie's movie is my favorite!
Clare, your "oneness" with Elsie Pie (and Meg too) and your uncanny ihsight into who she is as a "Being" has been portrayed so beautifully in her movie.
I always wanted people to remember Happy Hannah with a smile. Whether that is a wish of yours or not, it is impossible not to smile when thinking of Elsie Pie!! The Pie gave us soooooo much joy and sooooo much fun and laughter, the smiles on our faces as we remember her can never, ever be erased. 
I so hope you'll continue to add to the chapters of Elsie Pie's life with more wonderful "movies" and photos...and commentary that is all pure Pie!
We all love you so dearly Clare. You, Elsie Pie and Meg-a-Star will ALWAYS have a permanent safe place in our hearts
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
