Reading through other wonderful tributes on this forum just tears one’s heart out and is testimony to the love we have for our ‘kids’.
I’m seeing that we all handle the grief differently but in the end it has the same impact on our hearts & souls.
In our case at the moment we seem to somewhat still be in denial. We seem to want to shy away from anything that validates Snicker's passing, at least for now.
On Friday last week Doggymom and I were just coming to grips with things, or so we thought, when she listened to her VM messages left on her cell phone and heard the vet-tech say that Snicker’s Urn was ready to be picked up.
I just thought it was hard talking about these decisions “before it was time” but it doesn’t compare to now……
Neither one of us can bear to go get him yet. We want him back but not like this……
I look for him in his little bed out by the TV in the living room when I make coffee in the morning but he’s not there…..
We gave all the kids the last few spoons of our ice cream last night as we always do once a weeks or so, lately however we always had to bend down to give Snickers his ice cream treat because he couldn’t jump up anymore with the others….but now he’s not there……so it made me wonder…is there ice cream where they go?.....
All the kids get to run & play in our fenced-in yard at least a couple times a day for their exercise…we make it a practice to always do a head count when they come back in……and we’re so used to counting to eight…but now it’s only seven…..cause he’s not there….
I have to stop now….
Snickers – Our little boy...we love you so much…..
