I haven't been here as I was when Snoop was still with us. I understand the pain, loss and emptiness that you are feeling. We all do here. I think the loss hits each if us in so many ways that it seems impossible to process it. The taking care of them, cooking , making them as comfortable as possible. Showering them with as much love as possible,because we know we've been robed of time and even the stress of always watching for changes that we fear.

I think the journey we go on once they have physically left us is a process. I miss Snoop every day, there's not a day when I don't think of him and miss him. We lost our senior sheltie Missy just three months before Snoop, which was difficult but when he was gone it was as if I couldn't breath. To complicate it even more our only dog at home was a blind little terrier mix Abby who we adopted who was now alone without any companions that she known.

Her sorrow and loneliness pushed us to adopt another rescue. I have to admit the day we brought Jax home we cried for Snoop. As beautiful and sweet this new little fellow was my heart was raw.

What I believe in my heart is that Snoop brought us to Jax , as Abby needed him, we did also. Snoop would have wanted us to bring in another rescue as he was,as all the others before him were. He showed us love never dies.

Time helps, but as it moves forward let yourself feel what you need to. This journey is a difficult one  but you will navigate the best way you need to. 

My deepest sympathies,

Esther and my Angel Snoop
