Still Missing Her Options

[FourBoyz]

I sit here with tears in my eyes. Today is three months since my Gi-Gi left this earth to join her brothers, Joe, Biscuit, and Gizmo. I still have a hard time dealing with her death under such cir%%stances, as she had to go through. Some things are so hard to understand. Gi-Gi was such a good girl, so sweet and gentle, a true lady. I will always love her.

Our furchildren are such good examples of how we humans should be, kind, unconditional loving, forgiving, and accepting of life no matter what our status or income. Gi-Gi was all of this and more. I still miss her.

As some well meaning people have said, she was just a dog and not family.

Well, they will possibly never know or understand the significance of the relationship of other life and the gifts they can give. Those people often times do not have or understand respect or reverence for all life. The same creator who created me created everything else too. Everything has worth and enjoys life as much as anyone or I do.

I would gladly dance that dance again and accept the pain rather than miss the dance.

Peace,
Alan

I don't know how you can react to these people. They won't "get it", and that is actually their loss! It means that they can't love something that isn't their own species, which means they don't understand the bond. I know it is tempting to make some remark back, but I choose to pity their narrowness. They will never know how great it feels to have a friend happy to see you and wagging her tail, or how nice it is to have a kitty purring on the foot of the bed. How very sad for them!
