Not too long ago I was at the pet shop to get stuff for my dogs. As I walked the aisles, I suddenly realized that I only needed to purchase 3 of everything, not 4. I had been buying 4 of everything for longer than I can remember.
It was my first pet shopping excursion since I lost my Gracie. I wanted to run out of the store and never buy another thing related to dogs.
But of course I continued my shopping and checked out, feeling much sadness. I know this pain will lessen as time passes. Yet when I walk the dogs, I still see Gracie walking along the perimeter of the lake. I still see her catching a tennis ball in her mouth and climbing up the bank to bring it back to me to do it all over again. I still see her in the house soaking wet but happy and contented.
Love your dogs every day. I know you do or you would not be visiting this site. I wish all of you the love of a special dog for many, many years.
She is one of our family and acts like she is human. I had a dog for 13 years and I know how hard it is to loose your little loved one.
