Soup,

She was SO beautiful!! And she sounds amazing! Hope you get the strength to get through this. . . (I am tearing up myself ?. . )

I lost my girl of 19 1/2 years more than two years back. It is the biggest loss I have faced yet. Cried for days on end. I had her pic as a screensaver on my phone. . . . Its still there.

Few months later, a dog got into an accident and broke her jaw. We took her to the vet etc., ended up adopting her! Guess what! She sits exactly my previous dog! She has a mole in the same place too! . . I know I am exaggerating, but when I noticed, my heart just. .

You have been at the back of my mind the whole day. . Please take care. . Love to you ❤️?

Aww soup, I am so sorry!! There is nothing like the loving generosity of a dog- they are so happy to please us! What a loss, especially when she was so young and you don't have the gradual process of seeing her get older. It makes it that much harder. 

My last dog (male Yorkie) belonged to my ex husband, so I had to leave him. That dog adored me and used to bark if my husband tried to take him from me. He had anesthesia from surgery once and was whimpering in my ex's lap and I knew he wanted me. I moved him to mine, he quieted down, body relaxed and slept- I didn't move for 6 hours so he could rest. My ex put all kinds of crap in the divorce letters about my not having any contact with the dog as a way to hurt me. For months after I moved out I would get sick thinking of my little buddy wondering where the nice lady went!  I cooked all his food and carried him around all the time. Every time I said he was sick, and my ex said I was exaggerating, I was RIGHT. He needed fluids one time. I know my animals. 

They bring so much happiness so of course you're suffering! It leaves a hole. I always think though- there really are so many dogs that would love a happy home, separated from their mom and siblings, or owners that died. When you're ready- there will be another sweet dog who sees you, wags her tail and  hopes you will be her best friend! Lots of doggies would love their very own soup. ?

Bug hugs my dear xoxo

soup, I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish you every possible comfort or aid as you process this all. 

(((((soup)))))  I'm sorry, don't know what to say. 

That feeling of wishing you were buried in the ground with them....I remember that with our dog, Bozo. Back in 1988, our family's black labrador started having multiple organ failure. No idea why. Late that year, we had to take him to vet to put him down. My stepdad's eyes filled with tears as he held Bozo in his arms. That's the ONLY time in my life I ever saw that man cry. 

I kind of hoped Bozo would rise from the dead (like Jesus) but, nope. 🙁   Part of me wanted to die and be put in the backyard with him. Took awhile to move on from that. 

Speaking of the unexpected.....

Radio host Delilah's son committed suicide early on Tuesday morning.

This is the second child she's lost in 5 years. Wow.

Just today, before coming across this news, I found myself listening (repeatedly) to a song from Logic. I've been hearing it quite a bit on the pop radio stations lately, and like the feel of the music (Venus/Neptune). The name of the song?

1-800-273-8255.  (The National Suicide Hotline.)

Oh no I love Delilah. I didn't know that and my heart is just ugh right now, hearing that. And (((soup))). I hope anyone who's hurting right now can find some moments of peace tonight. You are not alone.
