Another Day

I've made it through another day. I didn't cry as much today, but I still hurt...a lot. I'm trying to spend more time remembering the fun things we did and the funny things Stinky Wink did. I'm still gathering his pictures. I have filled one album already. I didn't know I had so many pictures, but I'm delighted that I do. I wish so much I could pet him and scratch behind his silky ears. There hasn't been any hair to sweep up. I saw my neighbor out back this afternoon and she said, "My God, your yard seems empty." My wife said she thought she heard a bark when she was showering this morning, and I could swear I heard a squeak toy this afternoon...wishful thinking on both our parts. I took a lot of his grooming items, food, insulin (which I used once) and syringes to Homeward Bound shelter. I'm not ready to give up the other things.

Comment by Melissa and Franklin! on February 14, 2012 at 12:03am: So sorry for your loss. I lost my beloved dog 2 years ago in january and it still hurts. I can think about the happy times more now without sadness, but I still have his collar and paw print on my bookshelf and some days out of the blue I am overwhelmed with grief and miss him so much. I have Franklin to fill the rather large collar he left behind (he was a 130 pound mutt) and even though I love him with all my heart, sometimes I want to just hug my big ole bear of a dog. I know it will seem way too soon, but sometimes the best way to heal a broken heart is to bring another dog into your home. I have found this to be helpful with me, the right corgi will find his/her way into your home when you are ready.

Love lasts longer than life sometimes. That's OK.
