I'm so sorry for you loss, Nikki. A similar thing happened to our family dog in November and she had to be put down. It was heartbreaking. You're in my thoughts.
I lost my Rocky more than 11 years ago now, and I still think of him every single day. Losing a member of your 'fuzzy' family hurts just the same as losing a member of your human family. Hang in there, and try your best to remember only the fun memories...
Nikki, in memory of Princess. I'm sure you will keep her close in your heart always even though she is not here on earth anymore. for you! Hang in there, it will get easier with time.
Nikki, my thoughts are with you today. I know how tremendously hard it is to lose a little friend like that. They are with you day in and day out and they are sometimes the best friends we have. I hope your happy memories of her will ease your grief in time.
