Remembering The Good Times, What are some fond memories of your pet? Options

[crystal0]

After I lost my almost 14-year-old dog, Touch, last month, I was able to go to my local humane society's pet loss support group a couple times. At the end of each session, we would take turns sharing a fond memory about our pet. I thought it would be nice to hear what special memories everyone here has as well.

For me, everytime I sat cross-legged on the floor in the living room, Touch would see me from the kitchen and automatically come to me. Then, he would lay down, resting his right side of his face on my left leg. It was always this way. And everytime I got up and moved a few feet and sat down cross-legged again, he would follow and lay his head on my leg. It was just a cute, loving action that Touch would show, and I will always remember it.

What are some special memories of your pet?

My Tigerpaws was a tiny foundling, small enough to fit in the palm of my hand when she came to live with us. The first night she was with us, we had some kitten food in a saucer, all mushed up and thinned with some water. Tigerpaws had her front paws in the saucer, partially in her food and was eating voraciously, growling and gnashing all the while. I reached down and petted her on her back. She turned around a chomped down on my finger, still growling and gnashing and the little stinker bit so hard she drew blood! I knew at that time she was going to make it, and she was with us for 18 years. She will have been gone a year in Sept when she went to the Happy Hunting Ground.


Be Well,
