Your loss is felt by all of us who know the loving, forgiving friendship of a dog or other pet. We buried five, from a very special horse to two dogs, a cat, and even a hand raised pet chicken, in the past two years. We're getting old, and our geriatric critters are marching right beside us. I'm expecting to loose my best ever canine friend and hunting dog, Abigail, in the near future. It is a given. A part of owning and loving a pet and companion, is suffering the loss. Believe it or not, Wing Ding, the pet chicken, used to sit on my lap on the back porch in the evening, be petted, and share a sip of wine from my glass. She was killed by a weasel. Thanks to a handy Handi he's an ex-weasel now, but it can't bring her back.
Your loss is shared, and understood. I've got to go, cause I'm too teary to type. With understanding and sympathy, Pete
