My dog, Roxy, passed away this morning.
Animals, to me, have always connected to my soul on a much deeper level than most people have… I think I am still in shock, the grief comes in waves and when it rushes over me I feel so despondent in that moment. I never want to experience this kind of pain again. I work very closely with a lot of animals as part of my profession and thinking of the potential good-bye’s that await are indelibly haunting.
It makes me want to die before I have to say goodbye ever again but it gives me a taste of the pain that I will leave behind when I am gone. A lot on my mind today;

I feel your pain. I had a bichon frise that I loved so much years ago and one day I came one and learned that my mom euthanized him even though he was 100% healthy. I try to remember all the good moment and thank life that I got to know him in the first place. One other thing that I try to do is to honor him in my daily life. To live as if he were watching me up there and make him proud of what I do. I’m sure Roxy would want to see you really happy because you gave her so much love therefore you are love yourself. You can work on being at peace with her death and know that she’s always going to have that special place in your heart.
With love,

I am so sorry to hear about your baby, I could imagine how heartbroken you must have been. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me and comment here, your words have touched my heart and it it means a great deal.
Their powerful talons may not physically pierce our flesh or tear us apart, but the sensation is physically present and brutally real; it’s heartbreaking when our furry friends pass. I’m sorry to hear about Roxy.
@night-in-atlantis it’s a horrible feeling, overwhelming at times…Thank you for your time and condolences
Wait a pain in the gut. Can be worse than loosing a human. I swore no more pets after the last one. That was 13 years ago. But here I am with another furry friend after 13 years of none of them. Who knows who will outlast outlast who.
i’m sorry
