    Not sure what to put here. I a new to this. My service dog Luis crossed the rainbow bridge on May 21st of this year, so a week ago Saturday. Have to say that the first week without him was tough. Once I got his ashes back it was not as bad.

      Hi Christine, and welcome to our caring community. I am very sorry for your parting from Luis. We know how deep the pain is and are here to share our support and understanding. We are long-time supporters of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI.org) and you can listen to our “Paw’d Cast” with them by clicking the purple microphone icon at the top right of this page under “Follow Us”. We are also adding other service animal organizations and if you would like to share yours with us, we will be happy to contact them to see if we can add them to our “Giving Back” section.
      Will you be meeting another service dog? It won’t replace Luis but it will bring new love and joy into your home and heart. Please let us know how you are doing and what’s happening with you. If you would like to join a small gathering of our kind community members, we are meeting via Zoom Tuesday June 7th at 7 pm EST (4 Pacific). Let me know and I’ll send you an invitation.
      Christine, if you would like to share some photos of Luis with us, we’d love to see them. You can also post a permanent memorial to him here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/
      I hope you do better each day, and find smiles before your tears. Toni
