Just recently my old dog Banjo passed away. As much as I am glad that he didn't suffer too much and that I didn't have to have him put down, I miss him terribly. He has been a part of my life for 15 years, and a very comforting part at that. The morning walks and home comings are not quite the same. Our pets become such an integral part of the family's fabric, that when they go, it creates a hole. Interestingly we got Banjo when I was eight months pregnant with my son, and he passed away on my son's birthday. So to all of you who have lost a pet, my condolences and to all of you who have pets, enjoy them. RIP my friend, thank you for the years of companionship and love.
We just lost our girl Tilly who was borne when my second daughter Julia was, she was a 11 year old ridgeback X and our constant in our life. Each year as we grow older, add new children to our lives, take on new adventures and alter our careers the one thing we were certain of was that Tilly would be with us. I have never felt uncertain about anything and always embraced change but it is amazing how when a beloved family member... a constant in the ever changing world leaves us we often stop still and look at everything from a different angle. Today I'm carrying on with my new journey missing my dear friend, I'm sure Tilly would have loved to have been part of it... maybe her and Banjo will meet up somewhere some how and start journies of their own regards Carla S
