queenwinniesmom Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 But, you see, Smitty did deserve better, and that is what you gave him, and that is what he got---an angel like you to love him unconditionally. Imagine what both of your lives would have been like if you hadn't taken him into your home and heart. That time with you was certainly the happiest, most secure and comfortable time of his life, and that is what he knew in the end. For a year, a month, a day---he knew he was loved. I'm so sorry you lost your precious little old man.

My thoughts exactly Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carronstar Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 You gave him the greatest gift anyone could. You gave him love, a home, and a chance. Everything else was out of your hands.
