      I’m alright thanks for asking but I’ll never be the same.
      I had banjo since the day he was born in august of 2019. (His mom was a friend of mine furbabie) and he was the one for me when he took his first breath. He was and always will be my heart. He knows secrets that nobody will ever know. When I was at my lowest time after separating from my husband of 16 years, banjo was there. It was just us two. he was the best dog, best friend, and the best thing that ever happened in my life. I had him only 14 months, yes I say only because it was not enough time. I lost him Oct 23rd last year. It’s coming up on a year and I don’t want that day to come. I will love him forever until we meet at the bridge and go home together.

          Oh Clarissa, how terribly sad to lose Banjo at such a young age. I am just heartbroken for you. I have had two kittens who were very young when their little lives were over and it is such a touching and tough thing to move through and understand. And these darned anniversaries just bring up strong memories and feelings, so I know what you mean about that date in October. There’s nothing for it but to give yourself the day to honor and remember Banjo, embracing the world of love for a lifetime he shared with you. The book/journal “Griffin’s Heart” may be a good tool for you to help heal – others in our community have found it helpful. (It’s in our shop, but I am truly not trying to ‘sell’ you, I just know it can help). May I ask what happened to Banjo, if it’s not too painful? Would you like to share some pictures with us? We’re here for you, Clarissa, with much sympathy and support. Hugs, Toni

              Hello Clarissa. I am thinking of you today. It’s been one year since your precious Banjo departed and it is a tough (to say the least) day for you. Would you like to tell us how you are doing, what you are doing to help yourself? Do you have pictures of Banjo to share? We’re here for you. I am sending you a {HUG} and my best thoughts. Toni
