@Piper Thank you. I lost one beloved pet last year and another one the year before. But what inspired this post is the agony of a couple of friends who recently lost their pets. I can certainly relate to what they're going through.
@Rutterman I lost one very loved animal companion last year, also. Even before that though I, like you, could feel the grief of others who've lost their non-human friends.
Absolutely, the bond between people and their animal companions is truly special and enduring. It’s a deep, unconditional love that remains with us even through the pain of loss. Thank you for highlighting such a poignant and timeless truth. 💔🐾
That's a beautiful poignant quote. 😓 After you lose so many over the years (not just dogs), you don't want to get another due to the pain of loss. But then there is joy in giving them a home.
That's certainly understandable. The pain of losing a pet never gets any easier no matter how many times you've experienced it. Even so, I wouldn't want to live in a home without pets because of the joy they bring to my life. I'd feel very lonely without them.
My animals were all like my children. That is why when they passed they were buried at home and given personal items to take with them. The only one I could not do this for with my German Shepherd Gunner who shot dead by the police after I was already in jail that is one that is going to hurt for a very long time
@Rutterman thank you brother for the very kind words I did they wear my children they have always been. It is okay I know in my heart that one day I will see him again when we cross the rainbow bridge. I hope that your life and your animal companions have the same blessings as I did when I spent my time with him
