@christian6000 thank you so, so much. i volunteer at an animal shelter and thought i’d be okay seeing all of the dogs there.. unfortunately i think my pain is still a little too raw. but, i do think my baby will make it easier to love more creatures in the future. he taught me how powerful and unconditional love can be.
Lost my 7 y/o baby unexpectedly

@seang I know this gut wrenching pain all to well. It will always been there but you will get used to it, but those tears will return. Take your time moving forward and don’t feel like you need to replace him, because each dog is just like a human and are individual. Please don’t give up on the love a dog or other pet gives since it sounds like you are an amazing owner and there are so many animals looking for someone to love back.
@metraclarke thank you endlessly for your sincere and kind words. i agree. i really do see myself giving the same love and heart to another animal in the future, albeit in some time. he’s always with me, just in a different form now. the love he’s taught me will only extend further now.

@sakuramochi he absolutely had to know he’s loved! always with a tennis ball (or two) in his mouth, and a belly full of treats and yummy food.

@seang In the realm of love and loyalty,
A bond formed for eternity,
There lived a dog, a cherished friend,
Whose presence, a love without an end.
With paws that danced in joyful glee,
A soulmate to the family,
A German Shepherd, strong and true,
His spirit bright, his heart imbued.
He thrived in health, his spirit gleamed,
Though years passed by, he always seemed,
Much younger than his age would show,
Radiant youth, a vibrant glow.
Through streets and parks, they'd walk as one,
And strangers marveled at the sun,
That shone within this wondrous hound,
As if eternal youth he'd found.
He welcomed people, dogs, and babes,
Guiding puppies through life's first escapades,
A mentor, teacher, patient guide,
Nurturing them with love inside.
Within their hearts, he held a place,
A treasured baby, full of grace,
From dawn to dusk, a constant light,
A beacon through both day and night.
Now morning comes with an empty ache,
His presence gone, his love they'll take,
Remembering every cherished sound,
His groans, his kisses, all around.
Their home echoes with his absence near,
As they wash his bowls, wipe away a tear,
Brushing his teeth with a bittersweet sigh,
Recalling moments that will never die.
His favorite spot, behind his ears,
Whispers of love, calming fears,
His playful antics, forever missed,
The joy he brought cannot be dismissed.
They long to see him waiting there,
As they return with love to share,
Tripping on balls strewn 'cross the floor,
His spirit lingering forevermore.
The kitchen stove light left aglow,
A reminder of a love that won't let go,
For though he's gone, he'll always be,
Their faithful dog, in memory.
So let us honor this loyal friend,
Whose love and spirit will never end,
In the tapestry of their lives, he weaves,
Forever cherished, the one who leaves.

@seang He definitely knows and loves you so much too. Love is the most powerful force in the universe…you’ll find your way back to each other in another form, in another life. His soul may even come back to you in this life, in another doggy. 
Ask him to visit you in your dreams and for you to remember. Very synchronistic with the 7s!!

@baudilaire Yes the dreams!! I ask my dog all the time to visit me in my dreams (if he’s not too busy eating bacon and sleeping on comfy beds up there) 
@baudilaire i keep smelling him, seeing him, seeing 7’s…!!! it’s crazy. thank you for your reassuring words. i truly think he’s my soulmate and he’s taught me so much about love and life. it’s like he wrote me a contract— endless love and laughs and joy, with the caveat of having to pass eventually. finding peace in his memory has helped so much. thank you.
