“Here’s Looking at You”
Yes, I post a lot of pictures similar to this. Please forgive me.
I am still working through the grief of losing LittleBear.
These photos help me to process it.
Awww…what a sweet picture. I am sorry for your loss. Chester is getting older and, although I expect it to be a while off, I don’t know what I am going to do when it is his time 🙁
It was unexpected, and therefore perhaps more difficult. Now that some months have gone by, I may write a post about it soon. What I know for certain is that even though I miss him incredibly, it is not my loss that I mourn; it is his loss… his loss of life, of experiences, of love… it was so unfair to him.
I don’t know how old Chester and Gretel are, but I think they will live nice, long lives. You keep them in tip-top shape – they are very healthy and active! As dachshund longevity goes, I think yours will be at the top end. It’s unbelievably difficult to think about and plan for having to lose either of them, but because they’ve been so well-cared for, it will probably be quite a ways in the future before you’ll have to deal it. You will at least know that you gave them a super fun, adventurous life! The hardest part, other than managing your own grief, will be monitoring Gretel’s. Dogs are very mysterious in their mourning… it is both very subtle and very obvious at the same time… there is just no explaining it.
This is such a sweet picture of them. I’m so sorry for your loss. There is no loss like that of your adored fur baby. My thoughts are with you.
Thank you. It has been been a little over seven months, but some days I still break down.
That is a sweet photo.
SWEET precious photos. Totally understand. Sending you Lots of Golden LOVE. Golden Woofs
Thanks, Sugar! Your Golden Woofs are so appreciated… they’re a balm for the heart 🙂
Oh, I hear you. We lost our precious Abby 18 months ago, but I still talk about her all the time and post pics now and then. It’s so hard. But I find that writing about her/posting pics helps, and I’m glad it does for you to.
Adorable photo.
Yeah, I’m just now finally at the point where I can talk about him without turning into teary mess. I couldn’t even look at any pictures until the last month or so, and now that I’m going through them all, it’s almost hard not to post them. But I look at most of them and realize that they aren’t photos of him doing anything particularly significant… that they’d be special to no one but me and my husband.
I’m so sorry about your Abby. From reading your site, I see that she was only 2 1/2 years old. How terribly unfair to her (and you). It sounds like she was very brave through her cancer nightmare and handled it very gracefully. Bless her heart.
I so totally understand. We lost our Shiloh last August and I still shed tears. So I say talk and post about your sweet fur baby all you want! Such a precious picture!
Thank you for the sweet words, and I’m so sorry to hear about your Shiloh. LittleBear passed on October 20th, 2012 and I see that Shiloh was two months earlier to the very day. I also see that you have a tribute page commemorating her… maybe that’s what I should do.
That is a very beautiful photo!
Well first, you work through your grief however you need to. We all grieve in our own way and time, it can’t be rushed.
Second, I have to tell you, I love your tag line!! I need to redefine mine, I need a great tagline like this!
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you regarding the tag line. I’ve actually been waffling regarding this one, so you saying that you like it has made it decide to keep it, at least for now :).
Such a sweet picture! It’s great to have pictures like these.
