Crying Over My Dog Hair I Found While Cleaning... Options

[BooBoo's Mom]

It's been 3 months since my beloved dog went to Heaven. Yesterday, I was doing spring cleaning when I found my black dog's hair all over an old blanket and in the closet and on a few other things. This brought on hysterical crying because lately I have been feeling like my dog really wasn't "real" and it was all a dream that I ever had him. But the hair was "proof" that he really WAS real and was here and did exist. Does anyone ever find things of their dogs later after they died and feel the same way? I cleaned up the dog hair, and as I did so, I felt like he was dying all over again and I was getting rid of him again. It's an awful feeling.

Oh, I feel your pain - its amazing how some of the time we are able to function and go with daily activities, all the while repressing the reality that our much loved companion is gone. I very much understand how finding BooBoo's hair would make you start crying.

If you look at the hardwood floor at my front door just the right way, you can see two paw prints that Jake left behind. My baby boy has been gone now since March 11th, and I faithfully wipe and clean around those prints, but I will never wipe them away. I guess over time they will fade and go away, but for now I look at them every day!
