I'm so sorry. Mine is 17. Won't be much longer. Your piece made me cry.

Oh Gita.

I read this with tears in my eyes and finished it crying.

I DO know the heartbreak that comes with letting a dog into our lives and loving it, heart and soul.

I too, still carry my beloved dogs, Carys and Sadie in my heart every day, though they are long gone across the bridge.

Here’s to our memories of all the dogs that have gone before us and wait for us somewhere out there.

Your description of Oscar’s last day is so very poignant and loving.

He definitely knew he was loved.

I know that you have carried this distressing memory of Oscar’s last day for so long. I’m glad that you can finally write about it. It must have been very painful to write. It’s raw and it’s honest.

Oscar absolutely knew just how much he was loved. It’s hard to believe he is gone two years.

And you’re right. There is no grief like it.
