Mourning My precious baby’s battle with lymphoma ended this week. He was such a strong boy that I wanted to honor him here.

He will always be a part of you, he lives in you, and as long as you hold him in your heart, he will never be truly lost

Aww! I'm glad my English degree finally came in use :)

I hate it when people don't take pet grief seriously, they're living beings just like us, they deserve mourning

I agree with you. They definitely deserve mourning. Pet grief is real.

Some ppl, esp elderly/housebound, see more of their pets & get more genuine affection from them than they do from their families. The death of a beloved pet is traumatic & devastating.
