(((((((((((chemar and family)))))))))))))

Chemar,

You have my deepest sympathies. I know how hard it is to mourn the passing of a beloved dog that is part of the family. Our Chelsea passed away in May of 2005, and it was so hard. We decided to end her suffering because she had tumors all over her chest and stomach. I still miss her, but now when I think of her I smile instead of crying... that took some time though.

Chelsea gave me comfort during the worst and scariest parts of my life too, so I can relate to how it feels to lose that connection that was so important and special. When my husband had cancer I didn't cry in front of friends or family - I cried with Chelsea every night. She would lick my tears.

It's such a blessing to know that she was always there for me and she will always be in my heart, the way that Millie will always be in your heart.

My heart goes out to you, your son, and your entire family.

((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))

(((Chemar))) - I'm so very sorry.

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan ......."

It is still hard, especially when I wake up at 5am and remember I dont have to take Millie for the early morning walkies, and when I call dinnertime and she isnt there dancing
.
but it is getting better, and my son, although still very sad has reached the acceptance phase and is moving forward....he was even able to start looking thru his Millie as a puppy photos.........

we have an appointment for tomorrow to go see some kittens

Chemar,
I just saw this today... i seldom ever come here. I'm so sorry. I remember when we lost our pet bunny "Miss B". It was such a sad time.
Let us know about the kitties!!! We've been talking about getting either a dog or a cat. We still have one bunny and we're not sure how a dog or a cat would interact with him. His name is Butterscotch and he pretty much has free roam of the house
.
Only at night do we insist he gets in his cage. He doesn't mind it though.

(((Chemar))) ... I'm so sorry to hear about Millie. (great name)

I love your snow globe photo from your original post here.

Pets really help us through tough times and they are wonderful to wake up to. I'll be interested to hear what happens at the kitty adoption center!
