remembering been


today i am thinking of beener alot...kind of embarassing, but sometimes i forget he is gone. i think to myself 'oh, i need to see if been is hungry' and then, i get a little sick feeling when i remember.

today i got a beautiful bouquet delivered from friends who love their pets too, how nice that they came on a day when i am sad, to remind me that it's okay to still be "feeling" his loss.

I know that feeling that they are still around somewhere. You can feel them for weeks. Hang in there. I know it can take a long time, but everyday does get better. I will pray for God to wrap his arms around you whenever you feel that loss.

thanks Chris :))

you know, i just am feeling okay with missing him. we live in such a "quick fix" society that we are supposed to be up and at em and forgetting and gettin' happy before we even have a chance to properly grieve.

that's crap :)

so, i will miss my old boy today and know that God will help me with that sense of loss in His time. thank you so much for understanding!!

Each day will be a little easier. It took me a long time to remember Jake was gone. I used to think I heard him patrol the hallways at night. I really think he was. Been is always going to be there for you, so just say a little hello to him. I still talk to Jake because Mia looks at me like I am nuts when I call her poo-poo face.

Hi B~

My thoughts are with you more than you know. We lost our chocolate lab last year and I never realized how hard it would be to accept it. I still have a picture of him displayed and probably always will. My kids say he is up in heaven and I believe that too. Just like Beener. I kind of felt embarrassed to be crying over my dog a month later but realized that it's a grieving process and takes time. Remember the good times and keep that picture up of Beener.
