He was only six. My sweet husband went out the next day and bought me my little princess Dote who is a chichi. Sorry for your loss. They still your heart!

My wonderful dog Jessie, a rescue pet, also passed a month ago. She was 11 yrs old. We all connect with you & your family with this sad incident. One thing that's been healing for me is, when I finally could do this, is when I would leave my house, I would tell Jessie to hold down the fort and protect it while I'm away. Even though they've crossed over, I truly believe they still come to visit. This is comforting for me since I'm a single parent. Love doesn't EVER die, longing to be near your loved ones NEVER goes away. There's a special bond between a person/family and their pet. I personally choose to acknowledge my pet as one of my "special protectors". We are not emotionally wired to say goodbye in a permanent way. (By the way, my son, Alex, passed in 2003, age 22). He's made his presence known a few times, and, once again, there's a special healing that takes place knowing they exist in spirit form. God is Great! He will show you special ways to balance out the saddness. Give it time, emotions take time to process. Shalom & Blessings. Linda-Atlanta How interesting I was divinely lead to your web site-tonight.

As you know, she was my bedmate and my constant companion whenever I would visit and stay with you and Kathleen - and during those times when you were out of town (and I was IN town), she became my doggie "fix," as I missed my own Digby back home. Maggie was definitely an "ADD" dog (as Kathleen described her so aptly) but it was only fitting since her owner is ADD, as well! Pets are our children with fur, and their loss is as keenly felt as that of a member of the family...my heart and my best wishes go out to you, Kathleen and the girls. My next visit to your home just won't be the same... My heart is breaking – magnificent Maggie is gone??

Thanks for sharing this news with all of us. I blogged about this subject in January. http://www.cjfm.org/blog/?p=1446 Maybe we can all make grieving the loss of a pet, a normal adult response, acceptable, and expected.

Dogs really are part of the family. Our dog Teddy is so much a part of ours that my wife changed her career because of him. She was a physical therapist who loved her work until our dog started limping around and no vet could tell her what was going on with him. They just tried to go give him pills to "fix" his limp. Huh? That doesn't work most of the time on humans, why would dogs, who can't communicate, be any different. She got so frustrated with the vets that she decided to do more research. She stumbled upon one of the two schools in the country that provide certifications in canine rehabilitation. She graduated a couple years ago and opened up a canine physical therapy business in conjunction with a local vet. She's the only one in town and the business is steadily growing. People love their dogs! How's that for a dog changing your life. Check out http://hydropaws.com/ Jeff So sorry to hear about that. Dogs really are part of the family.
