Lost a beloved pet today

[gblowfish]

The hard thing about loving our animals is we outlive them, if we're lucky. I've lost several pets over the past 20 years and it's always the worst. And you never totally get over it. But you have to remember the trade: You give them security, love, joy and care; and in return they give unconditional love. My life had been made better in every way by having them around, despite the pain when it's time to say goodbye. I hope you give another deserving animal a home, as there's so many who need someone to care for them. Hang in there.

That's what I keep telling myself. We gave him a loving home for over 15 years. In the end he went quickly and didn't suffer. He lived a full, happy, joyful life with my family and I.

There are still a number of animals at Mom and Dad's that will all be loved until the end. They're just all getting old.. and I know the end is coming for them sooner rather than later. And witnessing this accident take place... it's eating away at me. I can't get the image out of my head.

My daughters dog got hit by a car in front of the house 25 years ago and I am still haunted by seeing her injuries. Drank a fifth of rum that night. Hugs TLO, it'll get better but you wont ever unsee it.
