So. Much. Love. xo
I need it and I’ll take it!
Oh, this is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry to read this. I’m glad she had a long and (I’m certain completely) privileged life with you. Sending hugs to you Wendy.
Rose was going on walks, eating (and pardon my crudeness) having great poops outside until the very end. We should all have such a well-lived life!
Oh I’m so sorry . Hugging you tightly.
Thank you for the hugs. It’s a lonely time, right now.
My heart goes out to you, Wendy. They’re not “pets”, they’re family. Losing them hurts like losing a parent.
17 years together, and the love of my life!
I’m so sorry to hear this, sending you hugs from Virginia. May her memory be eternal.
I now have her photo that I posted close to me on my desk. She will always be with me.
Wendy I am so, so sorry. No matter how long we have our pets and how wonderful a life they led, it’s still so painful when our time with them is over. I just want to say I know how much it hurts to lose your best friend and I’m thinking of you. Lots of love to you.
Thanks for reaching out, Claire. It’s been a really tough week, but everyone’s caring really makes a difference.
