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

Hello Peter,
What a sweet face Bruno had. He looks like a love. Those of us who come here certainly know what you are going through. I am glad Moon-Beam said what she did about not having to put on a happy face here. This is the one place I can come now to really express how I am feeling about Zoe's death.
You have been very supportive of me and I want you to know I totally understand how you described coming home and missing Bruno's greeting you. Zack still greets me but he was always with his sister to greet me after a long day at work and a long commute. I can picture Bruno coming to greet you the way you described him in your note.
All I can say for both of us is to hang on until happier times come to us.
Joanne
