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...
Guest OPointyDog Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 What an amazing tribute and a beautiful story. I went to look at the photos, and I have to say the one of him on top of the giant stack of dog beds made me laugh through my tears. So sorry you lost your special boy.

I was so excited for you and for Argos for the good life that I knew lay ahead for him. It saddens me to read of his passing and to know that he too is now gone.
