I know how much you love ALL of your babies and it makes me sad to think that you guys are hurting. I feel sure that little Max felt your love every single day of his life, but most especially at the end.<br /><br />I know you'll find a way to get through this, hard as it is, while celebrating Max and his life and everything he was to each of you. Take care and know that I'm thinking of you all.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048435064432122953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308632066489552326.post-73997510421905426402012-04-30T20:25:17.751-04:002012-04-30T20:25:17.751-04:00You should let yourself feel those feelings! It...You should let yourself feel those feelings! It's very healthy. I'm glad the article helps.<br /><br />I lost one of my two childhood cats, Buffy, 13 years ago. He died of congestive heart failure. I will never forget that night and coming home from the emergency vet--without Buffy--staring blankly at an episode of ER. If I hear someone mention that TV show, I think of Buffy!<br /><br />I lost my other cat, Reggie, two years after that. He and I were best buds--the strongest bond I've ever felt with an animal. He was diagnosed with diabetes a few years prior, so it wasn't a complete shock when things went downhill. We decided to give him peace when things became bad. I was in the room, and if I think about his final moments, to this day I need a few minutes to let myself tear up, then collect myself.<br /><br />Animals are there for you in a special way, different from humans. I'm so, so glad this article can give you some comfort. Max is the luckiest dog in the world to be missed by such wonderful people like you and your family! You gave him so much love!!<br /><br />All that is to say, I know how you feel. Here's a virtual hug!Susan Fuller Finarellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273230750047477578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308632066489552326.post-60591180395463228292012-04-30T20:09:25.537-04:002012-04-30T20:09:25.537-04:00Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sending that...Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sending that to me - what a great article. I don't feel quite so strange now for my periodic crying throughout the day today. I'm sending this on to my family, too!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703109613878330258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308632066489552326.post-57517173434763819542012-04-30T19:03:07.391-04:002012-04-30T19:03:07.391-04:00Lucy, I'm sure you've had a lot of article...Lucy, I'm sure you've had a lot of articles thrown your way, but did you see this one from the Washington Post: "The death of a pet can hurt as much as the loss of a relative." http://wapo.st/Im2IH3<br /><br />It rang true for me and many, many others!Susan Fuller Finarellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273230750047477578noreply@blogger.com
