Today's The First Day I Haven't Cried, Since my pet dog Bruno died I regularly cried from 5 to 14 January Options

Hi Guys

I can't remember the last time I really cried...probably when my mum died back in 2000. My dog Bruno got ill last November 25 2010 and my dad and I tried everything possible to get him better. We saw lots of vets and made Bruno as comfortable as possible.

I must admit that while Bruno was ill it caused me to sink into a deep depression which obliterated any happiness over the Christmas and New Year period.

I now feel the 'black cloud' I've been suffering is at last drifting way from my mind. Today's the first day I haven't full-on cried (I certainly have had tears in my eyes on several occasions when I get a happy flashback of Bruno) so I'm hoping that my no longer crying is a sign that I will now be able to bounce back from my sadness and get on with my life again?

I made this video tribute for Bruno if you would like to see it. From approx 3 mins in there is some nice HD footage I took of Bruno and my dad on a beach one Christmas Day a few years ago.

Take care

Peter

Hi Cryss your blog is a lovely tribute to Sassy. The photo of her on the bike is wonderful. A gorgeous personality.
Bruno was 16 fast approaching 17 when we lost him. Yep he certainly was a distinguished gent with his white muzzle! Thanks so much for your supportive words they mean a lot to me and my dad.

moon_beam thanks again for your kind, comforting, words. I have been showing my dad your posts and he really appreciates them as much as I do. Thank you.

Yesterday I played the Bruno video on DVD in the livingroom (where his 'box' is kept) and cried for ages. By the time I finished crying I was exhausted and fell straight to sleep in an armchair for three hours. I feel a little better today and will try to be as active as possible.
