I was so saddened to see Lucky's last day posted when I got home. I couldn't imagine putting my dog down, who I've had for 7 yrs, and she truly is my best friend.

Talk about bringing back memories! It's a tender spot that never really goes away.<br /><br />For the first few months after we put our precious Akita to sleep I literally could not walk down the pet food aisle in the grocery store without tearing up. Not to mention that the day we lost her I could not remember my ATM pin # - and it didn't come back to me for two weeks.<br /><br />Lucky was indeed a lucky dog - well loved.

Haven't quite figured out if it heals all of them because I am still waiting on that myself.<br />The last time I dealt with grief was when I was younger and didn't know how to deal with it at all. I suffered two losses within a short period of time. The lesson I learned, to make sure that you say and express love to those you love whether pet or person. Don't wait because tomorrow is never promised. Seems to me...Lucky knew exactly how you all felt because you were good to Lucky.<br /><br />Mrs White<br />http://bringingfurmanhome.blogspot.comMrs Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17708641992947197872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-87904687116673653002012-12-05T13:04:30.405-07:002012-12-05T13:04:30.405-07:00I'm crying with you.

It helps to remind ourselves how fortunate we were to have been given the time together but it won't stop the pain of loss. We heal but never get over it. I've always had pets and dread the time when we have to say good bye. <br />Let yourself heal. <br />Go out on those gorgeous trails of Colorado and have a good cry. It will feel good.<br />My sister just had to put her 3 year old cat down which was laden with cancer. So sad. So young. I wish we could save all our beloved pets, old and young but God/fate...whatever has different plans.

It does get easier with time, but we still miss them for who they were and the trademark things each of them did. It is much harder with children, especially when the pet has been with them in their earliest memories.

At first they cause pain but after a while of healing they cause joy when you are opening the ornament box and pull them out. you finally just remember the good times.

I also ached at the absence of the sound his collar and tags made when he came to greet me at the front door. Missing these things eased somewhat over time but there are still times when I look/listen for all of them even after 8 years.

I am more able now to lean into my memories of him with a smile than I was for a long while after he died - in fact, I embrace the memories when they come.<br /><br />I definitely have learned to give myself permission to grieve for however long I feel I need to, publicly and privately, with no apologies (screw those "it's just a dog" people), and to remember to remember them with joy and gratitude for the time I was blessed to know them.<br /><br />My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!<br /><br />Lizhttp://www.fat-2-fit-mama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-25637282497320868132012-12-05T11:56:12.560-07:002012-12-05T11:56:12.560-07:00I read your post yesterday about Lucky's last ...I read your post yesterday about Lucky's last day. I'm truly sorry for what you all are going through. It says a lot about what a great little guy he was. He was lucky to have you and you all to have him, so suiting name. I had to take breaks because you had me a mess!!! I didn't even cry that hard when my own Marcus passed this year. I miss him too. I know that feeling of something missing.

Those who say that "lucky was just a dog" have definitely never felt that. My brother and his family lost a dog this summer, it was hard on me and my parents. Like other said, it made me give my 4 legged furry family member some extra love. Of course after reading your post, he got some extra snuggles again. Your list is a lot that we should all know, but a very good reminder.

But it reminds me that I have a lot to remember about them, otherwise I don't think it would hurt so badly.

Still 12 years later I remember those words. So be it a pet or a person, they are all still part of our lives, and they help shape us into the people we are today.

We were heartbroken. My wound is still very fresh and reading your feelings about Lucky make me feel like I'm not alone. I miss them immensely but I also miss my daily routine that involved them and grieve for that as well, as I'm sure you do. Their passing leaves a hole in your heart that isn't easily filled.

I actually had to wait to comment because I was crying too hard when I first read your last post :( Losing a dog is the absolute worst, I remember sitting on our soccer field in college crying my eyes out when my mom told me our childhood dog had died. I was supposed to be heading home that afternoon to say goodbye (I was literally getting in my car to make the 14 hour drive back to ID from Souther CA when she called, and obviously couldn't drive safely once I got the news). I took my chocolate lab, Joby, out for a long run in your's and Lucky's honor yesterday morning, I chose a route that he could be off his leash almost the entire time... I like to think that all of his happy circles were dedicated to Lucky and your family. Sending you lots of hugs!!!AudreyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563660241199404050noreply@blogger.com
