Your Pet Loss Stories

I had my dog Isis for 11 years. I don't think I ever knew true love until I met her. The love of a dog is truly a gift. She followed me everywhere and when I cried she licked every single tear from my face. Even minutes before I said goodbye to her.

My heart has never been so broken. I lost her 3 days ago and have never known this magnitude of sadness. I'm hoping the return of her ashes will give me at least enough closure to continue life's normal everyday activities.

It's hard not to be reminded of her when I'm in the shower because she laid on the bathroom mat and waited for me to get out. When I woke up she was there, when I walked in the door she would smile so hard and shake her butt. I didn't think it was possible for someone to be that happy to see me. These things are much harder without her right now.

I know as time passes I will remember the good things and have a better grasp of my love being gone. Isis, you were my world and I'm so happy I got to spend 11 years telling you so. You made my life better, I love you.
