9. I'm sorry for your loss of your precious girl dog

Sat Nov 22, 2025, 03:02 AM

Saturday

It's so painful when you lose a pet companion. I still mourn my sweet cats and dogs that have passed, as I do my human family members, if not more.

They are a part of you because of the way that they changed your life when they entered it. The grief never leaves entirely, the love and small treasures they leave to memory, now, are a part of you both. Find peace, and remember the gift she brought.
