On those hard days

Well, today is one of those hardest of hard days to get through. My puppy Hershey died this morning of, what we have determined to be, Parvo (check out that link to protect your puppy). It is heart breaking. I had even made plans to take him to the vet this morning.
I'm not quite sure how to deal with it to be honest. I feel kind of silly, crying like a baby on and off all day but I sure did love that little puppy. He was only with me for about a month but he slept cuddled into mine or DH's neck every night.
He was a cuddler beyone belief and I loved it. His favorite spot to sleep was on my giant granny-ghan, when he wasn't sleeping in my arms, with his little face in the crook of my arm. Staying on the floor was just not allowed. Even when I was making dinner I could feel his little paws at my legs, hear him wimpering "let me up".
So, Hershey, cuddling with someone in doggie heaven, I love you little fella. I will never forget you. I love you. I hope you are not hurting anymore.

Lisa,
I'm so sorry to hear this. It's very tough to lose a pet. We lost one of our dogs just before Christmas last winter. It was really difficult. Hang in there and know that you're in my thoughts.

Thank you ladies. The first day is the hardest and as I'm getting ready to go to bed, the day is finally over!

Ahhhh I am so sorry to hear this. What about your other critters girl? Have they had their shots? They can catch it from where Hershey had been you know.

Lisa, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter whether you had Hershey for a month or years, once he entered your home he was part of your family and you need to take the time to grieve for him. Be gentle with yourself, sweetie, and know you're in my thoughts. *hugs*

Lisa,
I just read this post. I'm so very sorry for your loss ... those little fur babies get themselves right into our hearts & souls, don't they? Your life is better for having him in, no matter how short a time he was here. I'm thinking of you. ((hugs))
