I went through some of his close yesterday (my husband was fishing, so I could cry out loud, LOL). Some of his sweaters when he was just a puppy. Oh God, just painful. I washed his blankets yesterday, I kept one that still smells like him. Yesterday was pretty lonely.
I used to make jokes that Felix was going to lose all of the hair on his forehead because I give him so many forehead kisses. Never happened, but I gave it a good try.
I am sorry about your little Shelby, I see your username is like mine. I guess we will forever be Felix and Shelby's mom. =)
I hope I get a reincarnated Felix, or at least I get to see some of his characteristics surface in a future doggy. |
I felt exactly the same way when I met Shelby and every day I had her. It was almost painful to look at her and feel so much love and imagine ever losing her! I "lost" her twice before to bee stings but was able to bring her back. Cancer got her in the end, no way I could fix it.
I hope you find comfort in knowing your Felix may not have had the years that some dogs get, but he had enough love to last forever. What a lucky little dog.
