One Month Since Losing My Beautiful Boy Brutus Options

[BrutusMom]

I am new to this site as a member but I have read many of the past posts. I just needed to say that my Brutus passed away on March 16, 2018. He was my only furbaby-child as I was not able to have children of my own. He was 11.5 years old and the most handsome, black-bearded 30-lb. mini schnauzer you had ever seen. He was diagnosed diabetic and with a heart murmur 3 years ago. I believe on that fateful Friday, one of his heart valves failed as he started to show symptoms of congestive heart failure and his heart was greatly enlarged. I got him to the vets in time and they tried to revive him. He looked at me as I held his face in my hands, said goodbye, and was gone. The vet started CPR but to no avail.
I will post more in the future and add pictures of my beautiful boy Brutus but I am too upset and crying rivers to do it now. Thanks for listening

Five weeks...just 5 weeks since my beautiful boy Brutus became an angel. Seems like a lifetime since he has been gone and I struggle each day to move forward without him. Yesterday I received his paw print and fur clippings from my vet and a whole new abyss opened up. Bittersweet moments when I remember the very same paw print on my newly washed floors and the sweet softness of that fur cuddled with me at night-night. I force myself to imagine him running free and finding his beloved Nana PK (my mother), keeping each other company. A friend told me that "we hurt so they don't have to" very powerful!

Run and play my sweet Brutus. You are loved and beloved.
