Alan. Thank you. I can't even read past the first paragraph right now but thank you for posting it. I will come back to it and really read it.
Right now all I seem to be able to do is cry but I know that grief will settle in and the floodgates of tears will lesson.Then I can think of all the joys this special dog brought into my life. I had a purpose in coming home every afternoon: to feed and love on Pepper. It is going to take some getting used to.... knowing there is not one waiting at the door when she hears the car locks beep. I know Susie feels that way too.
