Must Read - Loss of a Pet

Smokey596 · 06-30-2011, 03:57 PM

I couldn't believe this article was posted today, just one day after I sent my beloved cat, Ellie, on her way. It is such a wonderful piece and expresses what I think all of us pet lovers here feel about our losses, and it talks about what a big help social media can be at a time of loss.

Please take the time to read it. You won't regret it!

Just change "dog" to "cat" and he expressed perfectly everything I felt after I lost my Smokey (or Shmoo as I ended up calling him). Excellent article. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wonderfully written, it should be a must read for anyone grieving the loss of a pet.

Thanks for sharing that, Smokey.

What a sad story. I read some of it and it was sad. He was an awesome dog.

That was a sad story

Beautiful Golden Retriever he was.

I must have just read it at the perfect time because I was going through the exact same thing, and everything he wrote about how he was feeling and about how people reacted and didn't understand...that's exactly how I felt. It was a great comfort to have someone else feeling the same things.
