Heart opening! In my childhood, I had several pets and with every loss it broke my heart a bit more until that point where I decided to not adopt one anymore. Now, 40 years later, I'm settling on an island in Greece, the next chapter in my life, and I feel how my heart wishes for a loyal companion again. I totally forgot what these moments are all about and what I passed by since all I remembered was the pain of loss. Thank you @susannahconway for this beautifully written reminder. 🙏🍀
Oh the ache in our hearts for beloved pets that have gone is brutal. We said goodbye to our little dog, at 16.5years old, this year and it still floors me on the strangest times. Soak up the cuddles and as you say... cherish the moments you have together. They will be etched in your heart. Xx
My heart aches for what you're going through. I lost my familiar in February, and you inspired me to write her a gratitude letter that I read her while she transitioned. You are both so loved, and I wish we could collectively wrap you in a blanket of love.
As always your words open my heart and touch my soul. I love that it was your window she chose and it has been such a privilege to read about your life with her over the years. Holding you both with tenderness as you find your way through this part of your journey together. 🧡🐈
Sending love. I’ve lost beloved pets suddenly, and I’ve lost beloved pets slowly. Neither is easy, each has its own challenges and impact to your grief. Baba is with you, and if you can model her “in the moment” existence then your time together will be all the richer. Living in this moment is one of the greatest lessons of life I’ve learned from my dogs and my cats.
Thinking of you and Baba a lot these days. I'm so happy you found each other. You've given her so much love a wonderful warm home full of comfort and sweetness. You've made such a difference in her life. She is so lucky to have jumped through the right window! I hope the days and weeks ahead are peaceful. ❤️
I wish I could wave a magic wand and Baba could stay with you forever. I wish I could wrap the pair of you up and protect you from pain. I wish you didn't have to experience this. But, this is the reality of what we feel when we love an animal so wholeheartedly and they can't stay with us. Sending you so much love, Susannah xx
Susannah, such beautiful words, I could feel my heart skip a few beats. Grief, although so personal and individual, is also so universal. You took me back to my own "Tuesdays" and there is comfort there, knowing we are all interconnected in this thing called life. Much love to you and Baba. ❤️
Oh! You brought tears to my eyes. It brought back the moment we made the decision to put our beloved lab down. I petted him, talked to him and loved him until the last moment. Stay with your Baba and love her. Sending my biggest hug to you!

She‘s such a gift, as are you love. You both won the lottery when she came in the window. 🩷🩷🩷
