But hey, it's also father's day today, so maybe instead of focusing on the loss, remember what you gave to him? You were like a father in a way, and provided care, attention, and unending love. There's no greater gift than that, and any living creature can appreciate that.
That's a cute way to look at it. :) I really can't tell you how heartbroken I was when Phillip died. I still think about him all the time. You need a puppy Frank. I think we all do.
Losing a pet that you have such a close connection with can be such a deep, heartfelt loss. It's that part of the cycle of life that really sucks!! But those other parts of the cycle are usually filled with such joy!! I think I may be about ready for another dog. I'm going to have to get some parts of my life settled a teeny bit first, though!!
So True!! He has definitely been crystal clear in my thoughts today. Immediately after I posted the entry, a white dog ran through my yard! I occasionally get neighbor dogs in my yard, but not often. I hit the Post Entry button and out of the corrner of my eye I saw a white flash. I turned to look out the window and saw a big white dog running across the lawn. Not Boomer, but a fun surprise!!
