Julie,

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. It is astounding that such small creatures can create such huge holes in our hearts when they leave us. Their relatively short life spans are the only down side to us sharing our lives and love with these furbabies. In the end, though, our lives are so much richer with them that we accept the trade-off and welcome them into our homes and our hearts.

It sounds as if you and Lulu both need each other right now. May you find comfort in her presence and in the knowledge that the two of you will traverse this rough time together. Please come to PetTalk and spend some time with other animal lovers who understand the pain you are feeling. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care.

Bobbi
