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

For any of you grieving over your little friends I really believe that they are watching over you also...so the important thing is to get on with living on their behalf. Next time you dig into some tasty food, think of your little friends, because I feel that they are right there with you, chowing down and tasting just as you do. Next time you go for a brisk walk in the fresh air, imagine that your little friends are feeling your legs moving with every stride you take, and are breathing and exhaling each time you fill your chest with oxygen. Next time we sleep, our little friends are sleeping right there with us...in us...and that's the way things will be. We must live life so they, whether it be in spirit or energy form, can continue to live through us.

that is so beautiful, thankyou for sharing that ... i just love it. i'd like to print it out and put it on my fridge if that would be ok with you, please.

he looks like he is smiling in that gorgeous photo. the tribute is wonderful, when he's barking he really looks like he's talking.

i understand the broken heart and the aching for the physical presence of your furbaby ... i feel exactly that too. i only tell you that so that you can maybe feel a little less alone in your hurting with all us here riding alongside you on this journey.

take the gentlest care of you
