Losing our pets
I see we lost 3 dogs last week. I just want to say how wonderful it is to be able to post our grief and receive the support from this forum. It helps to know so many people - and people we haven't me...

And here's what I can only confess to those here - my Mom moved to California in 2002; and I had only seen her twice (talked more often), before her death in Aug 2012. Of course I miss my Mom - but NOT like I miss my Aussie Ike. He was with me pretty much 24/7 and not having him around is still painful. But I know there's a LOT of folks out there who'd think I should be locked up for missing my dog more than my mother.....
NO, I think you are not alone. Losing one's parents is a natural progression of life. Losing our dog is not part of that progression.
While I miss my parents, I, too, miss my dogs even more. There is an emptiness that is just different.
