Dugan-gone One Week Today Options

[Krissyo]

I can't believe that it has been a week. I can hard believe that I have even gotten thru it. I feel so spent. I have tried walking our remaining pet Jake, journaling, talking with my daughter and husband, pet loss chatroom and reading pet loss books. I just feel so empty without my beloved Dugan, like things will never be right again.

I try and get up every morning and thank God for the the blessings I still have and am very grateful for. I put some of Dugan's hair in a locket that I wear to keep him close to me. I am grateful that he is with his sister, Darby and brother, Dobbsie and I am sure that they a playing together like they used to but it sure is lonely down here and I can't stop crying.

I just want him back so bad. I want to feel his soft fur next to me. I want to listen to the way he always talked to me. I want to listen to the sound of his loud purring. He even purred for me in the car on the way to the vet the last time. I want him to come in at 2:00AM and wake me up because he is hungry. I want to see they way his face used to puff out when he got excited and wanted to play. I want the hear the gentle beating of his heart as he lay next to me. I don't want all of this to be gone.

Thank you Judith for your kind words. I hate Sunday afternoons as it was when Dugan I would curl up watch a movie and take a nap.

I am glad you have Bella. You sound like you have a big heart in which you can give Bella things that she may never have had. I bet Furry is looking down on you and is very proud that you are willing to open your heart up again.

I found a poem that I thought I would p^^ on:

WHAT WE HAVE ONCE ENJOYED
WE CAN NEVER LOSE
ALL THAT WE LOVE DEEPLY
BECOMES A PART OF US.

By Hellen Keller

I know that things will never be as they once were but I would not trade the love I have received or given to all of my babies for anything in the world. I know I learned alot from Dugan as well as my other animals, and I like to think it has made me a better person.
