in loving memory of grief
I read today that someone lost her dog to cancer.
I haven't known her long.
I never met her dog.
But I remember grief.
I once sat on a bench at the edge of a canyon with a man decades older than me. We spoke about losing our dogs. I told him it was harder for me than losing a person. He shared the sentiment.
Nobody loves you like your dog.
I remember the hole. The silence. The void of vibration where once the most enthusiastic soul would greet me. The shards of my broken heart coursing through my veins, tearing me apart with every pulse. My heart, still beating. My dog's heart, stopped forever.
Nobody knew her the way you did. Nobody knew you like she did. This grief is a solo journey.
I remember this pain. Maybe the worst pain of my life, each time a pet passed away. I never want to experience it again, but I will. Again and again. There is no love so pure as this. The depth of the loss will always match it. Enduring it will always be the greatest tribute to what once was.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge, held daily in the Black and White Community.
Give it a try. With someone you love. 🐾
P.S. Pilot is fine, don't worry. He sends love.

Absolute love with no hidden agenda is our dog, each one rips at your heart knowing their life is shorter than ours.
Vibrant photography running, playing, being airborne in sheer fun!

Thank you @joanstewart and @tipu.
Sheer fun is something I hope I give enough of to my little guy! There is no way I can repay him in full for how much he gives me, but I try, and he doesn't see an imbalance, anyway.
Lovable in every way, never complain when they steal an inch more on the bed, or dig holes in the garden, more than likely simply need to go for a good walk 🙂their way of letting you know. Never out of sorts, I get the message !LOLZ

Yeah.... Cats in my case but it's the same
Cats for me, too, I was just going on the dog theme. A different vibration, dogs vs cats, but just as intense and life-altering.
Was on sedatives when my dog passed away, horrible feeling.
No more dogs since then.
Oh my god that's awful! I'm so sorry.
I feel like dogs happen when they're meant to. Maybe you will dog again one day...
I happend to him, found it buried in a snow on - 20 that winter, still can smell how stinky that puppy was until I bathed it.
He was crazy baby, unfortunately died from cat plague not sure where and how he got infected but all those days where horrible :(
No more dogs for me!
😥 poor baby. Yeah I could see how that would make you say never again.
Thank you @ewkaw and @qurator team! Much obliged!
We still miss Toby big-time and talk about him all the time.
He was a very good dog! The best boy. But I guess they all are <3
I've been considering inviting a new dog into my life :)
But I'm not entirely ready yet. Yes. He was that good a boy!
They really all are the best dogs ever. And I totally get not being ready. I felt like my last dog, Luna, told me to get Pilot. That and I was in a space where I needed a dog to survive (can't imagine that not ever being me, though). That and it was written in the stars.
I still haven't felt that pain but yes, the time will come one day for me eventually as a dog owner...
As I told a friend of mine once, you just can't think about when that time comes. It takes away from the now. But if you do, just squeeze your dog, and they'll wonder wtf you're doing and wriggle away and lick your face and bark and jump and play and probably knock over your drink and definitely make you forget you were sad that one day you will outlive them.
I was only talking about this very thing to someone today. You NEVER get over a lost dog you loved. NEVER.
It's true. Cat, neither. @nikv just mentioned that and I went back in time to my Squid and his last days and the love in his eyes when I was caring for him.
Congratulations. Today's #monomad first place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!
