@Shanus That's a beautiful poem.  The holiday season can really highlight the sadness of our losses....hope you find comfort knowing your angel friend Sadie is still loving you and standing heavenly guard.  🌷

@Shanus  It’s hard. When our beautiful little blonde Crocker spaniel passed just before Christmas I was so heart broken I didn’t get dressed for almost two weeks.

Re: WITHOUT OUR FUR BABIES AT THE HOLIDAYS

We all remember relatives who passed away this year...my Mom in March, weeks after Sadie. I wanted this poem, in some small way, to remind us that our fur babies are our family and it's definitely OK to feel their loss more at this time of year. The more we loved them, the more we'll always miss them. 

God bless our beloved pets. 💕

Re: WITHOUT OUR FUR BABIES AT THE HOLIDAYS

This is my first year without my 17+ yr old, five pound, part-poodle, Charlie.

I miss him so - when he died I felt like I'd lost another thread to my husband who died in 2017.

Emotions high.

Reading this thread touched me in a way I was not prepared for, and brought tears to my eyes. My heart aches for you, but I am happy to see that you are comforted by the beauty in this poem.
