We've loved and lost quite a few pets over the years and I still feel their presence and sometimes, I can be caught patting the air and talking to them.

However, that is also what makes their time with us like a bright sparkling jewel, shining a radiant light in our lives that makes their loss worth bearing. They stop being physically with us, but they never leave.<br /><br />Nick.<br /><br />JadeGreenImagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779076596942083998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-21525666706191210232015-09-24T01:23:57.121-07:002015-09-24T01:23:57.121-07:00I was so sorry to read your sad news, my thoughts ...I was so sorry to read your sad news, my thoughts are with you.

Pets are the most wonderful gift in our lives - even when my cats scratch at the bedroom door at 5am to be fed (and then scratch the couch after they've been fed). They leave such a big hole when they leave us.

Our other dogs are great with company and love everyone. Stryder was that way in his younger years.
