Puddy

[mamaducky]

So many of you have lost your beloved pets, so I hope you'll forgive me if it seems like I'm trying to drag this situation on. I'm really not; I just feel better when I let my feelings out and what better place to do that than PT? I wish I could turn back the clock to last weekend. Saturday and Sunday were her best days in months. I guess I just should comfort myself w/the fact that she's having even better days now. She is, isn't she?

You are so absolutely NOT "dragging the situation on", Mary -- for goodness' sake, it's only been a couple of days! Nobody -- especially not around these PT parts -- would think such a thing. I still cry sometimes over the loss of my darling Murphy, and it's been over 6 years since he went to the Bridge.

Moreover, you're always so generous with your compassion and advice that there are many, many people here who want to be there for you just as you are for others. My best advice to you at this point is to feel however you want to, whenever you want to. It's how you're going to get better -- which is what you know your "heart kitty" Puddy wants for you as she's raiding the fudgesicle freezer at the RB. (Who knows? Maybe she & Murph are hanging out -- or, as Gary would tell us, hitting the buffets in Vegas!)

It really sucks to be without them, though, doesn't it? (((HUGS))) to you as you go through these first (and worst) few days.

Much love,
Diana
