    Kat, hugs.

    I'm so sorry for your loss of Tank. The day after my husband and I had to let our adopted senior Gizmo go nothing felt real either. We were numb and in a daze. The time ahead will be hard and I'll be thinking of you. Remember we're all here for you as you grieve.

    My deepest condolences, Kat -- it is so very hard to do the one thing that our pups need at their most difficult time. I know that Molly and our other angels were waiting for Tank and gave him a rousing greeting!

    I know! Molly hasn't even been gone two weeks. They are very close together wherever they are.

Shock and numbness may slowly give way to pure and absolute grief. At least, that's the way it worked for me . So as time goes on, please know that we are always here for you. To listen, to talk, to rant and rail, to cry, to remember alongside you. And perhaps most importantly of all, to join you in honoring your brave, sweet, precious boy.

    Sending many hugs to you, this second morning after. Awakening each morning and realizing yet again what has happened has always been the hardest time for me, myself. So please know this morning that you are not alone.

    I don't feel so alone now. I don't know how I would be handling all of this if you all weren't here. I tried going home earlier today and was excited to see him but as soon as my hand touched the door, I realized he wasn't going to be there. I held my breath and left again. I don't want to cry yet.

    He has been with me for most of my life. I can not believe he is gone.

    I am really trying to focus on that. It's not easy. Lena is a beautiful, especially the picture of her on the sofa. I wish I could have known her.

    That means a lot. Your experience watching the vet's car, hoping they would stop and let her out... That's just how I felt. I also thought that he would somehow wake up and be in the building all alone so I went to the door a few times to listen for him. And just like with your dad, I felt like I couldn't get up to leave. His bed was really comfortable and smelled like him. I did not want to leave without him.

    Thank you Judy, I also believe they were waiting for him.

    Dear Kat,
    Just came to check on Tank's ACL injury and saw all this. I'm truly so sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. My heart breaks for you.

    She was my everything, Kat. I don't remember much before she came to us as this tiny 1.5lb puppy. My world revolved around her. It hurts, but I have found myself smiling sometimes when I think of her and when I look at pictures, but that took months to happen...and there are days when I just can't.

    But the rest of them still need me, especially Sibbie who is just a baby...and Doree is getting old and needing more attention. I think Gable is the only one who still misses her or he feels that I do, and he gets sad, so I try not to let him see me cry. He's my rock!

    Your pain is still so fresh, Kat...just let it happen. My friend, Connie, always said that when you get older, one bout of crying and you have to hide in the house for three days until the swelling goes down. I've done a lot of hiding since Lee died...

    Thinking of you,
    Joan

    Katherine, I want more than anything to believe and so I do, that Molly and Tank are running around and playing like crazy with all their dog friends. No more pain, no more anything bad, just happy puppies again. At their very best. That they watch over us and make sure that their people are okay.
    I understand the not wanting to go inside the house. It's the most horrible part, until you open the door and know that actually being inside is even worse than standing outside.
