Duncan would be proud of you. Volunteering at a shelter is rewarding, but sometimes painful as you know. So many little things in life remind us of what our fur babies liked, where they liked to go, what they were afraid of, people and other animals they enjoyed, etc...it IS always an ache in our hearts as " hotel4dogs " said above. The only good thing now, is that we know they aren't afraid anymore, no pain and struggle. Only love and light, just waiting for us.....

Six months today.

Went for a bike ride where you and I walked and could picture us together in those places. My heart is overflowing with longing for my angel and I fell apart in the woods where we used to romp so carefree.

Saw a women yesterday that I used to bump into at the park from time to time. She used to have a Golden who also was named Duncan. He was the same age as my Duncan and had the same father (sire?) as mine did. She now was with a beautiful young Golden 1 1/2 years old and full of mischief. Her Duncan had died 2 1/2 years ago (that is how long it had been since I ran into her last). She was happy and proud of her new boy. She said the puppy years were (are) challenging but the rewards were worth it.

I am not ready yet but she gave me hope.

I am very sorry, those anniversary dates are very hard. I wanted to say something to comfort you, sorry words fail me, just let you know I am thinking of you on this sad day.

Tomorrow is one year.

I remember the day before and the day of your leaving all too clearly.

Miss you terribly Angel. You were my true soulmate.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow. We had our one year without Daisy 2 days ago. I hope Daisy and Duncan are great friends at the bridge.

I'm so sorry for your loss. No matter if it's sudden or expected, our best friends' crossing is never easy.

May your Duncan rest in peace, and may your heart find peace.
