It is good to have a place to share this kind of loss with others who have also gone through it and understand exactly what it feels like.
Most of my friends/people around me aren't really 'dog' people per se, so outside of here and my monthly pet loss support group, I'm kind of flying solo on this grief airplane.
I lost my beloved 12 yr old Boxer Cosmo on 11/3/18, thread posted here:

Other Boxers I have lost before the era of digital photos:
Bo
Bobo
Casey
Oliver
Rindy
Doggies I have dogsat that I became very close with:
Pogo (Dorgi - Dachshund/Corgi mix)
Anya (Schutzhund-trained German Shepherd)
The person who runs the pet loss support group has well over 40 years experience as a therapist, including her work with hospice...and still says that the pet loss therapy work is the most difficult of all.
My heart is still irretrievably broken.
But I am comforted a bit by the thought that each day that passes is another day closer to reuniting at the Rainbow Bridge.
