#missing my dog

Today is a sad day :( Prince's birthday is today. He would have been 10 years old. I miss him so much.

I miss you always, but sometimes out of the blue, I randomly start thinking about you. The ache of losing you, the unfairness & helplessness I felt as I watched you take your last breaths…& the look in your eyes as you looked up at me in panic, and I know you had to be so afraid.

The pain hits me all at once, sometimes, just like it did that day. It is not fair that I still have to go on without you by my side, I must endure every single day knowing that all of your days were stolen from you in an instant.

Has justice been served? Not a chance. I still am not even sure who to blame. But more than getting even, I think about memories of you and all of our years together. I think it was divine intervention that you found me.

I have never felt so close, so bonded to any other animal, & I have deeply loved all of my pets. But you were special, you & I could communicate with our eyes. We were inseparable. I miss you so much, my sweet puppy. I miss you curling up beside me at night, & I miss my best friend.

I hope that your spirit is not far, & that you can still be right here watching over all of us. And I hope that you know how much you are loved & missed. And I hope that you will wait for me, someday I will see you again.

And I'm crying again for loss I refuse to let settle, for the idea that I can undo death if I grieve hard enough, that something in the vast will see my pain and undo what's been done.

A kitten bites me toes, then she curls up to sleep on my chest while I weep and she's nothing like you. She doesn't lick my tears. She looks at the tears rolling down my face with confusion rather then understanding. But I allow her to stay on my chest, and she allows me to cry. And maybe that has to be enough sometimes.

I wish we did memorials for pets. I never got much time to say goodbye to my dog before we had to put her down and I was away for four days before it happened. It would give so much more closure to give both of my dogs a special goodbye.

Why isn’t this a thing. Funerals are helpful that way, for some.
