Life… sometimes there are amazing things in life that make your eyes smiles and your heart swell. Times that you will never forget. Times that make all things right. Times that leave one in awe. There are other times, however, that are filled with pain… filled with suffering and sadness.
I lost a friend yesterday, more than a friend, someone that I’ve spent damn near every hour of my life with for the last year. I am sick at my soul. My friend was a dog. Simple. A dog. Despite her status as just a puppy she warmed my heart, made me smile and loved me unconditionally. She had a face that would turn your lips up regardless of the situation. She laid by me when I’ve been sick. rejoiced with me over victories and never demanded anything other than a few treats in return.
My dog, Lucky, is in heaven. I’ll be thrilled to see her again.
Hug your pets… they’re precious…
We lost our 2 Cocker Spaniels a few years ago and it was devastating. They were members of the family and so precious to us. I’m so sorry for your loss….
My heart goes out to you and your family. To some, a dog is simply a dog, to others they are a true companion.
I’m very sorry to hear about your loss Mach. That’s one of the perils of pet ownership. I still remember when our family dog (Australian Shepard) died. I was off serving in the Navy at the time, but my Dad really took it hard. We all loved that dog, but dad had a special attachment. He never got another dog. I don’t think he thought he could stand outliving another one.
I miss them both.
