In April I lost my best friend. Before I go further let me mention that she was my service dog. Leeza was a pug, she was my best friend as I mentioned before. She was my solace, my rock. She had been sick the last 2 weeks of her life. We had her in and out of the vet but even after hundreds of dollars, they didn't see what was wrong. The last day of her life was unbearable. I can't even describe it because it's still so painful.
My daughter and her fiance had her cremated for me and my husband. They clinic that did it was so caring. The put her in a beautiful wooden box. My husband said they put rose petals in it. Her name "Leeza," is embossed on the top of the box. They also dipped her paw in Clay so I have her paw print as well.
Leeza always slept with my husband and I, in our bed and she still does. I keep her box close to me. It's been 6 months since her passing but I'm just so scared of the holidays coming up. Spending them without her. I have all her old Halloween costumes and Christmas sweaters and dresses. I can't get rid of them.
I can't and won't get another dog. She was it for me. We still have a cat and he's a sweet heart. We joke and sometimes comment that he's half dog. He's gotta be in your lap and likes attention, unlike most cats.
I'm just wondering if anyone's lost an animal that they were very close to. How you may have gone through the process. It really socks that we get such little time with them.
