I admit, when I first read this thread a few days ago, I too was more than a lil suspicious as to the authenticity of the OP....so didn't respond.
The frequent postings and then needing to leave and be back momentarily... I found.....unusual.
We judge the world from our perspective...from how we would handle things...and the OP's presentation of her situation sparked skepticism in my mind as to whether it was real or not, so I'm not at all surprised others had the same reaction. We all express our grief in different ways and at times that may come across as unusual to others. Perhaps the Marine you mentioned, who very recently suffered the loss of his dog & long-time companion, with his own grief still raw, had a similar difficulty relating to how you presented the account of your loss, as I did.
Now, trying to catch up on the thread, some attitudes are not making much sense to me...I'm taking it some posts have been deleted.
To the OP, I'm sorry for your loss. No matter when they go, it always seems too soon. Take comfort in knowing he had lived a long life and was well loved during the time you had him. RIP Tiki
