My girl passed away pretty unexpectedly a couple years ago now. We had a routine where she’d go sleep on the couch at night but around the time she new I’d be waking up she’d come in and lay alongside my back and wait for me to get up. It took so long not to feel like she’d be coming in any second to do that

Very sorry for your loss friend, I know how hard it is.

I’ll never forget Mr Softie. My world has been richer because I got to know him, even just a little bit, through you.

It’s tough to get used to. For weeks after one of my dogs passed I would see something like a blanket on the couch in the corner of my eye and think it was her, then I’d be reminded she was gone an instant later as I realized. When you say “watering him” I picture him sitting with his mouth open as you pour water over him like a plant haha.

I lost my dog of 12 years this summer and it was devastating. Noticing his “presence replaced by absence” is so crushing to face. I have to remind myself that I gave him the best life I could and loved him every day, and he knew that.

There’s no shortcut to grief. I just teared up typing this. I’m glad we have this community to help carry these burdens

I am so sorry, losing a pet is awful. Your posts of Mr. Softie always made me smile when I’d see them.

Our hearts turn softy.
