The Best Dog A Guy Could Want R.i.p Options

[shane meyer]

I had to let my little yoda go today 17yrs old. 5th dog I've had to put down in my life. I spent half of my life with him, none have hurt this much. He JUST had a check up and blood work done 5 days earlier. Heart strong, kidneys, liver working "great" then outta no where he had a stroke. He was always there for me. Through all my personal problems in life. Kills me to know I'll never rub that SHIH TZU pot belly or hug him again. He was Blind from birth and depended so much on us, I think thats why this hurts SO MUCH MORE than my other pets. My soul is fractured, at the moment I dont know if I can get over this. My Birthday was monday, the day of the stroke. Now i'm cursed with a birthday that I lost my most loved buddy. I hope I succeded in adding his picture. I love you yoda PLEASE R.I.P

Hi, Shane, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing and these wonderful pictures of your beloved Yoda. Please know that your tears are literally healing tears - - for your heart and soul. Many, many people in society in general, and sadly in our personal lives, do not understand the eternal love bond that develops between a human caregiver and his / her companion - - and this includes people who have "animals" in their homes as well - - whose attitude is "it is just a . .. . " I know this personally from my own family members, and experience a lot of scoffing comments from them about my beliefs.

Losing a companion touches our lives on many levels, including our spiritual beliefs, and the deep grief that we go through can significantly test the deep faith beliefs of people who profess to have an unshakeable faith, and speaking for myself I can tell you that there have been many times in my life that I have found myself questioning God's purpose and Will. So please know that you are among friends here who understand your questions and the deep grief consuming your heart.

Shane, I wish there were an easier way through this grief journey, and if there were one I would most certainly share it with you. Unfortunately this journey can only be traveled in your own way and in your own time - - one day at a time, sometimes one moment at a time. But you are not alone in your journey, for each of us are here for you for as long and as often as you need us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Shane, and that I look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
