greytluck Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Today would have been Hobbes' third Gothca day. I know it's cliche but since he passed away almost 7 months ago there hasn't been a day I haven't thought about him. The pain has eased over time and now I can not only think about without crying but instead remember all the funny little quirks he had and even have a laugh about it. I refuse to let myself be down today because with Hobbes being my first greyhound it also marks three years since greyhounds entered my life. He paved the pathway for both Wally and Corinna and even showed my husband dogs aren't that bad after all. So as the quote goes "Don't cry because it's over smile because it happened" So today to celebrate Hobbes' life Wally, Corinna and I are going to take a trip out to get Hobbes' favorite treat some ice cream. We could walk there but Hobbes would have preferred the drive so that's what we'll do. Happy Gotcha Day Hobbesy!!! You will always be a part of my heart and I thank you for allowing me to share part of my life with you. Quote Hobbes-Ricard Hatch09/23/99-12/21/09 Always loved, never forgotten.

greytpups Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hobbes, I still remember meeting him...how nice for you to celebrate his life, rather than dwell on his passing.

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...
