Losing a Furr baby

We all know that feeling of a small body cuddling against us. Weather you have a dog or a cat or any other animal you love. When they come over just for a snuggle or to ask for the bathroom its always worth a smile. When we have become sad our animals know it so they try to make us feel better in their own way. Throughout years of having this animal we have moved, gone threw extreme challenges, grown in our own ways or even been through many relationships and they are still with us. They stayed with us threw the hard times, silly times, heartbreaking times, and the happy times so they are family in a sense. What about when they are not there anymore? There is a hole that can not be filled with the unconditional love they provided threw all the times it was needed. The warmth of there body or the little actions they made that were laugh worthy. nothing is there from them anymore. So each day they are remembered for the ear that was always there and never judged. Some people may get another companion but most will never forget the first beloved pet. Some people may never get another or wait years because the pain of losing the first was too much. Everyone does different things to honor their beloved pet and that is their way of always remembering them. Some people may get a tattoo of their animal, some may cremate them and keep them in an urn, some may keep a picture on their keychain all these ways honor the life our beloved companion had.
