And that loss, or the risk of it, is the price we pay for loving well.

Part of what's so poignant about living with them is the knowledge that it's only temporary. They're on loan to us, from the very beginning. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your love and your loss with us.Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157076523366054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-80434722038988647542009-10-03T21:00:59.197-07:002009-10-03T21:00:59.197-07:00So true, Stephen.

But they add up to something really unique and they leave an awfully large hole when they are gone.Jenny Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622490947145712857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-88740698796015259142009-10-02T15:45:40.769-07:002009-10-02T15:45:40.769-07:00The Loss of a pet is always so hard, & not eve...The Loss of a pet is always so hard, & not everyone understands the hurt. I still grieve for the 3 dogs that have moved on, especially my beloved Butch, a rescued Jack Russell that was simply the best dog ever. When I need to cry on cue... I just think of him & the tears start to flow.<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely post.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05967985806955115917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-18172871514512312152009-10-02T12:28:13.380-07:002009-10-02T12:28:13.380-07:00Thanks, Bob.
