Six months after your dog passes you still can't bear to talk about her.  Yes, some may say, she was just a dog.

​

You reach under your bed and stumble across an old toy of hers and burst into tears.  Yet she was just a dog.

​

After a long and mentally draining day at work, you'd give anything to be able to come home and just cuddle with her.  Yet, she was just a dog.

​

Those who have never owned one, will never get it.  That dog was your friend, cuddle buddy, jogging partner, playmate, anxiety reliever, alarm clock, guard dog...etc.

Just a dog, right?
