It's been a month



It's been a month since my best buddy changed address.  A very quiet month.  A month without a happy furry guy greeting me at the door when I get home.  A month without early morning or late evening dootie walks.  A month without him waiting patiently (?) to lick my ice cream spoon. 

I still can't believe Luke, Lukie-boy, The Lukester....he answered to them all...went from healthy to struggling for his life in just a few days....some sort of auto-immune system malfunction.  I'd never heard of such a thing, and there was nothing I, nor veterinary specialists, could do to stop it.  If something seemed like it might help, we tried it.  And he fought bravely, too.

 I have no idea if I'll some day be reunited with him or not.  I sincerely hope that "Rainbow Bridge" thing is true.  I'll be one happy guy if it is.  To be surrounded again by Luke, Emma Belle, and Tara Belle (previous canine family members) would be amazing.

 Take care Lukie-boy.  I love you buddy.  Rest up now while you can, 'cause we're going on some epic walks when I some day catch up.

    They never go away; they just wait for us somewhere else.

    Isn't it about time for a new Luke-ster?

    We plan on buying a townhome next year, and we'll re-do it to be 100% dog friendly. Then, we'll be getting new dogs. Note I said dogs, plural. :)

    I thought I'd never feel better but adopting helped. I'm glad to hear that "dogs" are the future. I think I felt my heart drop a few times reading Kelly's posts. I'm praying there is a rainbow bridge because I will never rest til I'm with my Sully again.

    There is no greater joy than a pet that touches your heart, and losing them is devastating. I feel the same way about Conan, Tasha, Tessa, Scottie, and Chula. Hang in, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

    It's been years since my cat had to be put down, but there are still times when I - half asleep - reach out my toes to touch her sitting at the bottom of my mattress. Glad to hear about your future plans for dogs!

    I still miss my lovely cat, Shila. NO cat could ever replace her. But there is no way in my present state could I care for her now :-(
