Your Pet Loss Diaries

'One Year Ago.....'

It has been one year since my Jeter was put to sleep... it seems like only a few months and I miss him everyday. I am going to put flowers on his grave today and cry for the loss of one of the most gentle souls I have known. I miss him daily, I still cry if I am alone and allow myself to think too deeply about him.

I remember the feel of his fur, the devoted love in his eyes, and his happy face with his "talking" to me when I pulled up everyday from work. I miss him beating my leg with his strong otter-tail. I am going to do something special around his grave to decorate it and keep it nice.

This pain will probably never completely go away. But I try to remember how fortunate I was to have him in my life for 8 years. If people could learn how to love as unconditionally as our pets, this world would be a better place. I love my Jeter and I miss him. I hope there is a "Rainbow Bridge" because I am looking forward to that day when we can be together again.

I love you Jeter.
