I am so terribly sorry. I know I have leaned on you so often, and you have supported me whenever I have done so. I should have kept you in the loop, but it never seemed the right thing or the right time.
Since my last post, I have lost loved ones. Chronologically, I lost Cuttledog_3 (long time readers remember the loss of Cuttledog, or Cuttledog_1 back in 2009, I think). I then, fairly soon thereafter, lost my mother (honestly, this was a mercy, as she had lost herself 3 years prior), and today I have lost Cuttledog_2. It was not that long ago that I posted, if memory serves, “an unwanted repost” about the loss of the last of the Cuttlecats. That would be today’s verse if I was up to posting it.
I am well aware that there are bigger issues. Thing is, when you are right close to a modest house, it can block out a skyscraper behind it. Small issues are rarely small, up close.
I don’t really have anything much to say, and nothing in verse. Hug (or pet, or scritch, or whatever) your pets, and tell people you love that you love them, while they can understand. All of which you already knew.
And I know I haven’t said it in a while, but thank you (yes, you!) for everything.
Condolences. Always hard.
And maybe let them be a bit naughty now and then.
My deepest condolences and sympathies for whatever little they are worth.
Pets are family and words are inadequate. Extra pats being given tomy dog and cat from you, thanks.
Glad to know you are still around and wishing you all the best.
This post is the opposite of your last couple of posts, and I am so sorry you’re grieving. Losing loved ones–of any species!–is heartbreaking and tragic. Anyone who has had such a loss is standing with you right now and wishing comfort to you.
My condolences.
Nevertheless – persist!
I am sorrowful for your loss. I also know the pain of losing a beloved dog.
My last kitty, I had put down at 22 years old.
It made me quite sad.
