I just lost my Maine Coon Bijou 4/4/20. There is not a day that goes by without me weeping for the loss of her. My heart goes out to Mr. Levin, because we’re both going through the same thing now.
really, any pet owner who loves their pets.
i empathize.
I hear you. I have had to put many a good doggie and cats in my life. Broke my heart every time. I had a beautiful cat, “Scooter’’, God Almighty was he handsome. Stripped black, gray and white, white paws, with a tawny underbelly and what a mouser. I live on the edge of The New Jersey Pine Barrens and have a big back yard. A couple of mice got in here over a period of some months years ago and got everyone of them. Five in all.
But my boy got sick, an inoperable brain tumor so... miss him a lot.
I have lost many, many of my best friends (my cats). But oddly, the pain that was once like a knife in the heart turns into a kind of sweet sorrow over time.
