((((freewill)))) I can't say much, because I still mourn the loss of my service dog Figaro (1 year ago last week.)

I tried for 2 years prior to prepare myself for Figaro's passing (he was old afterall.) I even began to make statements to try and help me (he's "just" a dog!) not feel so much. Nothing worked. This has been the greatest sorrowful upheaval in my life.

If I hadn't had Caleb already (at 9weeks old) I might not have pushed through the sorrow I felt initially. Another thing that helped was that once they adminstered the sleep medicine, before the other med went in, Figaro fell asleep and began snoring. So that assured me that he didn't feel any more pain, and left peacefully.

Hold on, it won't kill you, but it sure will put a hole in your heart. The only thing that fills that hole is another dog.

I was recently looking at someone as they spoke, and something to the left of them caught my eye. In a daytime vision I "saw" my spirit wolf and alongside him was Figaro! He is happy and well now, not hurting or sick at all.
