When Dylan Thomas told us to rage against the dying of the light he spoke of his father, but the pain from losing a beloved pet is also brutal and rips apart your heart.
I have buried several very loved dogs over my lifetime. I still miss every one of them and find my heart aching at the oddest of times. I am sorry for your loss and hope the new puppy brightens your life.
There is only one way I know of that will mend a heart broken by the loss of a loved doggo…and you nailed it. A puppy brings the magic back into your home and the love back into your heart.
After we lost our 14+ year old Lab this summer, the entire family was devastated. Our grandchildren grew up with “Tucker” and he was a huge part of their lives. It was a crushing blow.
We will never forget Tuck, but with our new Havanese puppy, “Sammy,” the joy is back.
Humans don’t deserve the unconditional love we get from our doggos, but pardon me if I suck it all up anyway.
I agree, I miss every one of my past dogs and cats, everyone had different personality and quirks, but the love they grant you is always the same. I crying writing it. Puppies have a magical ability to heal your heart broken heart.
I had to euthanize my beloved Bella, my dog of 12 1/2 years, a month ago. She was almost 16. That was the worst day of my life. Every day has gotten a bit better but the grief still shows up sometimes and overwhelms, as I think it probably will for the rest of my life.
