Hi Librarians! I have two quotes I'd like to delete, and one is on my page three times! Could you please assist? Thanks so much.

“When I was around Sunny, there was no time to dream about some easier, prettier, more comprehensible, less fucked-up existence. Now was all we had: Sunny lifting her eyes to meet mine. Cupping water in my own hands to rinse the blood off her head. Sunny’s tongue on my nose, her tail thudding on my leg. The reach of my hand across her spine. The words of comfort and rage and fear and sadness and hope that I spoke only in her presence.

When I was around Sunny, I looked closer. I studied the color of her paws (gray and white) and the color of her eyes (chestnut, reflecting my face in them) and the pace of her breath (hurried, restless). I wasn’t lost in my head, blind to the beauty or the suffering in front of me.

When I was around Sunny, wearing filthy jeans and my face covered in slobber, I was the kind of person I wanted to be.”
― Shannon Kopp, Pound for Pound: A Story of One Woman's Recovery and the Shelter Dogs Who Loved Her Back to Life

This next quote I'd like deleted also, it is there three times...
“Every time I walked down her row of kennels, there was that wet, black nose pushing through the bars. She was so different from me and most people I knew—we tend to hide when life gets hard. We’re afraid to love, afraid to even ask for help. All I wanted during those long nights vomiting was to be left the fuck alone.
Not Sunny girl.
Deep down within, there was power and resilience. She wanted to do more than survive. She pushed her muzzle through jagged bars and called out for a better life. She called out for love.

Not cupcakes. Not vodka. Not isolation. Not death.
But love.

And I could not just move on with my life and pretend I never heard that brave call.”
― Shannon Kopp, Pound for Pound: A Story of One Woman's Recovery and the Shelter Dogs Who Loved Her Back to Life

Hi Shannon, I was looking on your quotes page, and I'm not sure if someone already took care of it, but I'm not seeing the one quote that is there more than once. Again, maybe someone already corrected it for you!

Hi Allie! I think someone did, though I'd like to delete this quote:
