Saying Good Bye to My Pet

A client received a piece of hair from her pet in the mail that I sent to her because I had a feeling her senior pet had passed away.  Princess did pass away.  She replied she doesn't ever think she could have another pet again due to the pain of the loss.  I replied to her:

Thanks for your response.  I can feel your hurt and since I hadn't seen you all and found out that you moved as well I kind of figured in my heart Princess had found her way to doggie heaven.  My website had Duke's Memorial on it.  It helped me to write it all down.  As my Dad put it, it's worth the hurt and the many years these wonderful angels are in our lives.  To give them the pain of remembering them in their afterlife is just the little we can do when they devote their little hearts to us all the years their alive.  I have to say I still have Duke's Brother whom I may lose any day now.  And one day after Duke's one year anniversary I had a wonderful angel Faith come into my life where I rescued her from being found on the streets.  She reminds me of Duke so much that when I called her Duke a few times; she responded immediately.  Her attitude is such of Dukes in many many ways.  And she was one years old whens he found me. 

I also just now adopted a puppy too.  Who has found Faith as her best friend.  They are truly angels and in time you may find room for your another puppy in your life.  Whether it's an older pet you've rescued or a new one that's a puppy.  But, no pet will replace Princess.  She will always be your baby forever.  But, there are too many days left in our life not to share it with a pet that will devote his/her heart to you in the tough times and good times, no matter what.  The pain we go through is just a little we can endure to have them by our sides I think. 

It is the most saddest days of your life to lose your furry family members.

Your Princess will forever be in my heart.  Thank you for letting me be your groomer all these years.

Always, Dede Croy
