There Are Tough Days


Justice and Liberty

We loved them well
and we received unconditional love in return.
Libbey has been gone 10 years,
but she is still so very much in our hearts.

Justice left us today.

10 years from now I will still miss her.
Howie will search for her.
I will remove one bed,
and one bowl from our home,
but Justice will never leave our memories.

I am so very sorry about the loss of your precious pup Justice. There are simply no words of comfort when we lose something so wonderful. I lost my dear Munchen in August, just shy of her 15th birthday and I have to be honest I think of her daily and more often than not shed a tear.

I have you in my prayers.

I'm so, so sorry. They take hold of our hearts and we are lost; lost with love for our beloved animal children, lost in the wonder of their devotion and joy. We lost Scout three weeks ago and we are reeling. We can't conceive of a life without her. We don't know what to do with ourselves. We cry most every day. We had her for 16 years and they were pure magic.

Sending you love and hugs and wishing a joyful release for sweet Justice, who is romping and playing with abandon just on the other side of the mist.

Ahhhh - big sorrow z. Having a pet fills the holes in your heart, and losing one makes more - it's a never-ending cycle. I'm so sorry to hear about Justice... many big hugs.
