“The loss of a pet, although inevitable, is one of the worst events in life. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve sobbed longer and harder after losing pets than losing some family members. You never really get over it.”
Oh, how well I know, having lost my wonderful Great Dane, Canute, about a year and 1/2 ago. He still lives within me and I’m tearing up now. I have never had the loss of a dog or human get to me so much.
Same here. Lost kitty Miss Fiona in December 2020. Also tearing up now. (I plan to have the little box with her ashes buried with me. I know — it’s weird.) We’ve lost others, but this was the worst. Then Mr. Mel in June. Horrid.
I cry for everyone’s pets.
Though the dog cancer groups have been a blessing, emotionally they’re draining.
Almost every day someone loses their heart to this horror and I cry with them even though I never even met their dog.
