Well, yesterday was not my favorite day. Having to say good bye to our furry four legged child was nothing short of painful. I still feel a weight on my chest and a pit in my stomach. Our home is awkwardly too quiet without the sound of his paws on the hardwood floor, or his snoring on the other side of the couch.
His former owner expressed his gratitude incessantly. Diesel completely recognized him and started jumping, wagging, and turning in circles at the excitement of reuniting with his original owner. That both made the situation easier, but a little harder as well. Once they reunited, I might as well have been chopped liver; which was hard, but I did get quite a few doggie kisses before I departed.
While I do still have a "I cried a ton yesterday hangover", I know that life will go on...after all that sun did come up today...somewhere out there. We are gray and overcast here in Bloomington, and it looks like a snow globe out there. A winter storm warning is upon us, but as I said, life will go on.
I spent the weekend working and on my free time, enjoying my last play date and snuggle time with Diesel. I'm thankful for not only the love of Diesel, but that I have throughout my life experienced the unconditional love of dogs. I found a perfect quote on Pinterest yesterday, that is truly helping me cope with our recent loss.
