A big hug for you and Max from Eve and me. Having lost beloved furbabies myself, I can understand your feelings and the sadness. The upside is that you have experienced that wonderful relationship with Speckles and although you miss her terribly, she will never leave you (as painful as that may be at times).

There are many times when I feel Roxy and August's presence. That feeling is bittersweet - wonderful to know that they will never "leave" me but painful to know that I can't hold them and cuddle them and play with them the way I once did. Eve has really helped in her own way. Although she never knew Roxy and August, she "knows" they were here and often cuddles up in some of their favourite spots after a good sniff She helps to keep their spirit with us always. In fact, I think there is some communication happening on a level that I cannot consciously apprehend. Eve has begun to do certain things that only Roxy would know about and I can't tell you just how wonderful that is for me. Although it sounds bizarre I am certain they have a spiritual connection and I'm just fine with that
