I'm afraid there will be a lot of days & events to delay your mourning... And casual thoughts as: 'what about bringing a bone back for Hector?' or 'next walking, we'll go through this park'... We're still with you on this!
just came here and found this post. Absolutely moving. A kiss to Hector, wherever he is. Wendy is 14 year old ( July 1994 ) and i am so afraid to lose her. She's ok but it's quite clear that she's letting herself go, even if sometimes she still wants to play with his tennis ball or playing with woods .... :) Greetings from Milano, ITalia
I know you're still grieving but do you ever have a moment when you find yourself thinking of the convenience of not having a pet? Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with how much time and money I spend on my girls. Yet they are everything to me.
* From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog." *
* Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted. *
* Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. *
* If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. *
* Because of "just a d og" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. *
* "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. *
* I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human." *
* So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand." *
First time I've written a comment on your blog, but wanted to give you a random e-hug for the loss of your dog! Sorry to hear that you miss your 4-legged friend.
