I know there isn't anything worse than loosing our best friends & I know for myself....my kitty (Buffy) I had from the time I was 5 until I was 21.....was very special in my life.....The 2 kitty's I had when I was married Sammy & Abby were also special & got me through many rough times.....then when I got my first american eskimo doggie (Excell), I really knew even more the special bond that was between us. I have added more eskies to my family.....Excell being the daddy of most of them & when he died last May.....It was like I had lost my best friend ever.....all the fun & games we had together.....all my depression he saw me through......the worst part was that 2 of my other eskies were there when he died & seeing them grieve along with me was more than I could take at the time....The unconditional love that binds us with our critter babies shows us what true love is all about & I know that I have learned more about love from my 4 legged babies than all the humans in the world.

I know the pain you are feeling.......these words were something I read when I was feeling my deepest pain:

You don't get over it, you just get through it.
You don't get by it, because you can't get around it.
It doesn't "get better"; it just gets different.
Everyday grief puts on a new face.....

Time does heal the pain, but it's important to hold onto the wonderful memories we have with our babies........they are our family & hold the same important position in our hearts....never to let go.

May you feel peace as time passes,
Debbie
