My darling little dog died today. We all know the crushing sadness so I don't have to explain. We buried her in the orchard. I was keeping the rain off with an old coat that I used to wear in the evenings, snuggling with her in front of the TV, so I wrapped her in it and zipped it up around her. It makes me feel better to think of her enfolded in the arms of my familiar coat.
There are many other dogs who need to be shown loving kindness, possibly for the first time in their lives. Soon I will open my home to them. But today I grieve.

Kris...I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I know firsthand of the totally enveloping sadness that you're feeling but time and distance will be the greatest healer. I hope that the initial numbness has eased and that soon you can recall all of the wonderful memories you two shared...recall without tears. My best to you. Helen/aka MissKitty2
When a child of our soul puts that fourth paw back into Heaven ... well, please visit & read http://wigglesblueheeler.blogspot.com and know that your grief is shared. Mine is still profound; tears still sting my eyes, but grief walks in step with the greatest joy, because God shared Wiggles with me for 12 1/2 years of earthly life, and forever! Good Boy is here now, and that was God and Wiggles' doing.
