@laura-f 2020 - what's next.
My heart goes out to you. It's devastating, I know. Someone told me "Don't be sorry they're gone. Be glad they were here." At first it's so difficult, but they had wonderful lives with you. Sending you some virtual hugs.
Oh Laura. I am so very sorry. She sounds like she was really something. I loved the description of her bopping the dog on the head.
I am sending you love and comfort from here.
@laura-f, oh no ... I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your dear Tess. It hurts so much to lose a furry companion. I am sending you a big hug, my friend. ❤️
@laura-f oh, my dear girl. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending you love and a virtual hug (the only safe kind.)
The light in me sees the light in you and recognizes the sameness.
Namaste, Laura

It's been said that when we lose a beloved dog or cat (especially) suddenly, that they will try to return us soon after in another reincarnation...
An experience that I had led me to believe this totally when someone gave me a tiny little kitten, and it's mannerisms and spirit were exactly like those of a beautiful big Anatolian Shepard that I had lost a few months before.... I just knew it was him returned.... it was so funny that the kitten thought he was still a big dog too....
I hope that your little Tess returns... and even if only in spirit, she will be with you again ...
@laura-f Big hugs and much love to you... what a peaceful passing she had on a morning where she did what she loved and then laid down and softly slipped across that rainbow bridge. She lived knowing she was well loved and she left the same way. What a gift you were to each other. She will let you know she's okay...
@laura-f Oh my, I am SO sorry to read about your loss. Losing a pet is devastating. I hope you find solace somehow. ❤️
@laura-f So sad to hear, especially so sudden. All the best , pets are not just animals, they are part of the family. And then so sudden, our beloved dog has cancer, so we know that the end is near. It is till very hard, but at least we can do all nice things she always liked.
And we hopefully have 2 - 3 good months.
All the best..

Lovely, lovely post and beautiful poem graphics.
Thank you so much. I am down to chickens and cats and the very much older cat will most likely leave soon.
She's had far more than 9 lives and if her owner was anyone but me, she'd have been "let go a decade ago.
Somehow, love and care has kept bringing her back! We've had quite the journey together and it feels like all that I needed to learn with and from her may be done but we'll see if she thinks so! Meanwhile, i get up 3 times a night and all day long offering her fresh water and trying to tempt her with soft bits of gentle food and changing her soft bedding over and over.
Loving animals is not always easy is it?
PS Did you write the first poem?
@michele-b No not easy.. but in the 30 year career in vet med I assisted in many crossing overs. Many saying good-byes..it is one of my "gifts" one of the things I do...helping spirits cross over and comforting those left behind. Have had many of my own as well. I often fostered or took home to love those that had no chance... one kitty was brought in to us in a snowstorm... very sick with Feline leukemia... I cared for that baby in my home for 6 months so that for the last of his life.. he would know love and care and safety. I have had to say good-bye to my own beloveds. I have had two of them come back to me in a new body over the years. :-) One of my current babies is a kitten no one else would take.. who has many health issues... she is living her best life with me now as a middle aged queen :-). The typed words are my own.. the painted artwork post is not. Prayers for you and your queen as your days draw down to closing...know.. truly love never dies...it just changes form.
Loving any living being is not always easy *sad smile* but... it's really... all there is.
