We lost our beloved dog of 13 years yesterday and I remembered this post and came back to it today, needing a witness for my own grief. It is such a horrible emptiness.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Lore. I will be keeping you guys in prayer. Love comes in so many forms, and one of my favorites is from my pet son. I can't imagine the loss. Just yesterday, a friend told me he believes our pets will meet us at the gates of heaven. I wholeheartedly agree. Blessings and grace to you both.
Mmm mmmmmm. I totally get this life saving dog. I am stricken for your loss and the belly and paws and chin that no longer hold down your house. Thank you for this heartbreaking tribute. May your wellness today be an honor to the dog that got you through yesterday.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Even as we learn to ride waves of grief throughout our life, the loss of a beloved pet is distinct sorrow unlike the others. An unmooring of the heart.
We hurt deeply because we loved deeply. I'm so glad you had this wonderful companion through the tumultuous past decade, and so sad you had to say goodbye.
Lore, friend, this feels like such a cavernous loss. As you fall down into it, may you find - somehow - a soft place to land. A ground to water with all your tears. With every post I read, every picture I see, I'm sitting with you. Joining my heart to yours. I am so, so sorry.
It has always been so clear to your readers how much she means to you, and I know we don't really know the half. I'm so sorry, Lore. And so sorry you didn't have time to prepare.
Oh, Lore. I feel this in my bones. I was there just a year ago mourning the companion who'd seen me through the darkest days and showed me what loving presence really meant. I actually quoted you in my little still-private obituary for her on my socials: " I don’t know if dogs go to heaven but if they don’t, I don’t want to go either."
I’m so very sorry. Dogs become members of our family and the grief of losing them seems unbearable. What a gift, though, that we get to have them in our lives. ❤️
Oh no this is so very sad; she seemed like the best. I always enjoyed your stories and pictures of Harper. Very shocking to just see this title. What a happy life she had with you.

Oh Caroline, I'm so, so sorry. So sorry. Aching with you today.

I’ve thought of you many times this week, and have cried with you from CT. I’m just so sorry. What a treasure she is/was to you 💔
I'm so thankful God gives us dogs in our life. But it hurts like hell when they are gone. Immeasurable holes.
