A Very Painful Loss

 

Anyone who’s ever had their beloved pet pass away knows that losing a dog is one of the hardest things you can go through. Research shows that saying goodbye to your favorite furry child is just as hard – if not sometimes more difficult – than the death of a human.
                                                                                                                 

I read that quote and thought wow, Ive had a lot of losses in my life, but I dont remember feeling this kind of pain, since my Mo girl died 17 years ago. I had her 12 years and after grieving her for six months,  I said I wont do this again, it was too hard to feel the heartbreaking pain of losing her. 

But another few months passes and at the prodding of a friend I adopted Roxie.
Mo girl and I were  together twelve years, Roxie was with me 16 years. She was my life. I did everything i could to give her a good life.  I cooked all her meals, she slept on the pillow next to me. We traveled together. As she got older she had cataracts and couldn't see well at all. But if I got up and moved to another room she was right there a few minutes later looking for me. And if I was in the bathroom and came out it was like I was gone for a few hours and she was so happy to see me.

How can you your heart not break knowing you have lost that kind of  love and companionship in your life?.
