Thank You To Everyone Here...

I want to thank everyone on this wonderful site. My grief would have been much worse without all of you understanding people. This site is a Godsend to all of us who are grieving the loss of our beloved animals. It is so important to know that there are others out there who feel the same way. Thank you again and God bless you all. Maybe one day we will all meet each other (along with our pets) on the Other Side.

How Can It Be Almost A Year Already?

My beloved dog died almost one year ago. I just can't believe it's been that long now. Time is going so fast and it really shocks me how fast it's going. I just got so busy working and living my life and it's been a year of not having a dog. It really snuck up on me in a way. I feel bad in that some days I don't even think of my dog because I am busy. Soon, he will have been gone 2 years, 5 years, 10 years and he will be a distant memory of long ago like the dogs I loved in my childhood. That is sad for me. But then the good news is I am getting closer and closer to being reunited with all of them as time goes on and I get older.
Wait for Mommy, Boo Boo. We will be together again one day soon.

Weeping Alot On The Last Day Of 2006...

I just don't know what the matter is with me, but this changing of the year is making me so sad and weepy. I just DON'T WANT my dog to have died "last year." All day today, I haven't been able to think or speak of my dog without crying and I haven't done that since he first died in March. I feel like I am losing him all over again just because a new year will soon start. I guess it's like he doesn't exist in 2007, like he did in 2006. I feel like the world doesn't know him in 2007. I tell you, I feel crazy sometimes.

Am Sad That 2007 Will Be Here...

I don't know why this issue is affecting me so much, but I can't stand the thought that when 2007 comes, my dog will have died "last year." I just feel like he is becoming like the dogs of my childhood and youth--that is, my dog that I had "years ago." I don't want him to become a past memory from years ago. Does anyone feel this way too, or am I just strange?

Dog Hair On The Walls...

My beloved dog went to Heaven in March. Yesterday, I did my yearly dusting and washing of all the walls in my house. I was so surprised at how much of my dog's black hair I found stuck to the kitchen and bathroom walls and some on the rest of the walls. I never saw them until I wiped them off. I know it's strange, but I was really comforted with finding the hairs. It was like my dog is still really with us wherever we are in the house. I guess it might take years for all the hair to disappear. I guess there is hidden hair in other places too. It was also more proof that my dog really was alive because sometimes it's like my dog didn't really exist at all. Memories to me are more like dreams that didn't really happen.
It sounds silly, but I kiss the hairs before disposing of them.
