I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you, I am going through the same feelings for my loving dog. I know what kind of pain you are feeling. I thought these kinds of feelings with this depth of pain were reserved for other humans, but they aren't. I not, as I'm sure you are to, that our companions know us and love us more honestly than most relatives. That kind of love is hard to find on this earth. Your doggie had a great home and you provided a wonderful life. I am sure that they will live as long as love for them burns in our hearts. I really believe we will be together again in the future. Until then, I will honor my loving friend with tributes, memories, and private words to him. Maybe it will give you some comfort to do the same. I know a part of our hearts are gone with them but I know my baby wouldn't want me to be hurt or sad, I don't think yours would either. I am working on that....it will take a long time for the deep grief to ease but I want to be happy for the remainder of this life...to please him. May God bless you and help to heal your pain.
My Shadow by: Kathy
Thank you for your thoughts. It's been 6 weeks now and I've accepted he's gone, but his bowl is still on my kitchen counter, his bed still next to mine. Eventually, I'll move them, but not yet. It's hard...I loved him so much, but I still enjoy petting other people's dogs and know I can love another dog. Last fall, a baby kitty came to my patio and was crying. Of course, I went outside to investigate and now she's a member of the family. She loved Shadow and I'm so glad I took pictures of them together sleeping on the floor with "Missy" my kitten snuggled up to Shadow. I'm going to have pictures made and hang them on the wall, because my dog was a member of my family. Maybe our pets are playing together right now wishing we weren't so sad.
I am so sorry by: Anonymous
I am so sorry. I let my beloved dog slip away today after his exploratory surgery told me he had cancer in his spleen and liver. I regret I didn't bring him home to die and am devastated. I can share your grief...I am sorry for your horrible loss.
