    Hi.Well,it’s been four days now since my best friend died.My little Chi mix Princess was my best friend.I had a morning routine.I would get up at 5:20 every morning and say “come on let’s go potty”.She would bark as to say “okay mom”.And I still do that.She doesn’t respond…😞😞.I look for her when I come home,and the house is quiet.My life isn’t the same without her.I am so alone..I don’t know if I will be able to get over her death.

      Dianne, I questioned how I would get through my loss, and very unexpectedly, ended up taking care of a friend’s cat for three months. I can tell you that was exactly what it took to help me, even though I wasn’t “ready” for a new friend (so I thought). Maybe you can visit a shelter to visit with pets who would love some company, not to adopt them yet, but to remind you of the many loving lives who will enjoy your time and attention,, But it has only been four days, and Dianne, geez, you hurt. Princess is such a part of your life and always will be, and life without her will be so much different. But she enjoyed the long, loving time you shared, and it’s on us to honor our beloveds by remembering the many gifts they gave us. What a shame our pets are only ‘on loan’ to us, but, we will all pass on from here, and want those left behind to be grateful and happy for the time we had together. I know, really know, how horrible you feel and how hard this is. I, and we in our community, feel the depth of pain you are feeling, and I want you to know, you can think of the good, fun, funny and silly times, and find some comfort there. Our next group meeting is October 20th. I hope to see you there. And, please read the October newsletter for the link. In honor of my Beauty Girl, for only $10. you can post a lasting memorial to Princess on our site. I hope you do and find comfort in that. {{SYMPATHY}} Toni
