“And it is exceedingly short, his galloping life. Dogs die so soon. I have my stories of that grief, no doubt many of you do also. It is almost a failure of will, a failure of love, to let them grow old—or so it feels. We would do anything to keep them with us, and to keep them young. The one gift we cannot give.” ― Mary Oliver, Dog Songs

Sparky. My baby. My beautiful darling boy, we’ve had to do the hardest thing. We've had to let you go and say goodbye, and I feel like a massive part of me has gone with you.
#pet loss tw#pet death tw#i’m devastated#i haven’t stopped crying#there’s a border terrier-shaped hole in my chest#this is heartbreak on a whole other level#I’ve literally got chest pains#and i can’t sleep#every little thing is getting to me#my dogs are my everything#i know in my heart it was by far the kindest thing to let him go but it still really hurts#15 years was a good long life and yet it’s not enough#i miss him so much#it feels wrong to talk about him in the past tense#please go kiss your fur babies#or scale babies#go play with them and cuddle them and treasure every single moment#their lives are so fleeting#my photo#crazy dog lady#pet tribute
