It's been a over a week since we said goodbye to our sweet girl Tawni (AKA: Stinky). I've been seeing her collar sitting on our counter and it's a daily reminder of the fond memories we had with her, but also the emptiness in our family. Our 2 year old son simply says, "Tawni bye bye" or "Tawni died". His innocence is refreshingly therapeutic.
Matt, I am so sorry for your loss. Our pets become such a part of our lives that it is difficult when we lose them no matter how pragmatic we are about it.
It's so poignant to know your baby has to deal with loss, however pragmatically. It's hard to say good-bye; little memories tug us back. In its own way, you were the lucky ones because you shared so much love; it always just ends too soon. Thinking of you all and Tawni...
