The sadness, the anger, the tears that come each morning as I wake up facing the reality of Tucker not waiting at the back door for me to feed, love on and play a round of fetch with is slowly and I do mean slowly being covered with fond memories and sounds of laughter, love, and barking washing over my heart.
Who knew such a creature as a messy, slobbery,shedding, rambunctious,bark-until-you-wake the-neighbors-up, tail-wagging, loyal-faithful dog could make a lasting unbreakable, unexplainable bond of friendship that would later break your heart into a million pieces. Fortunately for me...I did.
So...this is where the story does not end, but only gets sweeter as I savor the lessons learned from heartbreak and hopefully pass on that love by living life for what matters most.
Falling in love knowing your heart will be full of joy, happiness, pain, sadness and eventually loss and doing that over and over until your last breath.

I am so glad that it is getting better. I hope each day are easier and easier for you during such a sad time.
Betty, you speak from the heart, and what you feel is so true. Losing someone (whether pet or human) is a pain unlike any other... and in many ways, it draws us nearer to our Creator. For He, too, loves deeply, knowing that deep love will bring sadness and sorrow and pain... yet He loves anyway. The pain of loss fades slowly, but the love remains long after the life is gone.
May God continue to comfort you and your family.
