Hey,

I recently lost my furry friend… It was a tough period and I’m still sad, even if time is healing slowly.

It’s the first time I had to deal with such a situation where I have to decide when to go to the vet for the final journey… It was so hard…

Today I can talk about it without getting too emotional. I’ve also written a blog post on my website to express what I was feeling about that.

People are telling me to adopt another one, but to be honest, I don’t feel like I can do it now… Maybe it will come back, I don’t know.

All I can say is that it was one of the hardest thing endure. We love so much those small little animals… Maybe too much.

And you, how have you dealt with such situation? Did you ended up getting another one at some point?

    I feel for you. We have always had a lot of pets (4 cats, 2 dogs atm) and dealing with their end of life stage is heartbreaking every time. Just grieve your loss however you need to.

    We always take comfort in knowing how much our departed friends brought to our lives, and, particularly for our rescues, how much love and care we were able to give them. Our relationships with them are a gift.

    Take good care and trust that you will know if and when the time is right for another one in your life.
