It hurts so much to lose a beloved pet.

We release pheromones when scared happy sad ... ...flight or fight. Martini is aware as most animals can smell these on us. Let Martini help Yu bcz she senses and smells your distress. It will do Yu both good

I often wake up thinking I just heard his little bark asking to be let outside. I still miss the little guy, he won me over (a large dog fan I am). He was my Aunties dog and was only a year when she passed and I promised to take care of him. He was 13 years when he went. I did my best to give him a long and happy life.

Like I said, I still 'hear' him (in my head), probably always will. Time does help, but it seemed to take ages for me.

Hang in there. Your grief is sadness, but it is sadness borne out of LOVE.

I've profound wisdom to offer. Just a cyber hug -

every day of her life. Let her be there for you in your memories, she's not gone anywhere there, she's there. Martini can help you and needs help with her grief too. Don't let sadness be her memorial.

To store your favorite moments with Holly.

You will find them for months ahead, and that's perfectly ok.
Give yourself permission to shed each year as a tribute to your little girl.
