Me too. I teared up just reading this. You have, I think, captured perfectly the dog’s (or cat’s) perspective in such a poignant, moving, few sentences.
I know dogs, well and cats, grieve as humans do. I have often wondered what is going on in their brain when they lose their human , or dog friend. Thank you for the rumination of a dog missing (for now, their human friend.
I've watched my dogs grieve. They are no different than people in how they react and the unpredictable nature of how they respond to loss. Thanks for illuminating animal grief.
Why you gotta make me cry like this??? 😭 But, seriously this is beautiful. It reminded me of one of my dear departed doggies who experienced obvious "depression" after losing her adopted sister.
😢😢still miss all my forever dogs even though I love my current one.
I have pets I still miss from when I was a kid. I still tear up sometimes

Sorry :( . Pets grieve too and they miss their friends. Mine are together again. I miss them all
Beautifully written! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much, Michael!
My parents had a house where I buried three dogs and five cats. You made me miss my childhood home for the first time.
Thanks. It feels good to be human.
I’m so sorry for your losses Deacon. Thanks so much for commenting. Our pets are home
My best to yours, I just can't do it to myself again. It hurts too much when they're gone. Anyhow, Thanks again for this beautiful poem.
Damn, this made me cry. But a good cry. I love dogs and cats. Thank you for sharing this. Going to go hug my elderly dog now.
Thanks so much Joseph for reading and commenting. Give your dog an extra hug for me
I’ve got two old dogs and I know how hard it’s going to be because I’ve been here before. Crying.
Hugs. Never easy. I have another old dog. His days are numbered and I can't deal with another loss
This is heart-breaking. So full of deep emotion.
Thank you for writing this & sharing it. ♥️
Thanks so much, Jodi! I appreciate it. One of my most difficult posts to write
😢😢😢
😥
oh this is heartbreaking.
Thanks. It was. I was sitting with my dog last week one day and it came to me. Broke my heart. Still does
Awwwww. So sweet! A lovely tribute! 🥲
Thank you
I have an older dog friend too- brought tears to my eyes 🙏🏼
It's so hard when they get older, yet beautiful
Balling 😭
I think that's why I felt melancholy today. 😢 posts like that one get me emotionally
Yeah, I felt emotional and melancholy all day today. I blamed it on menopause, not enough sleep last night, and the full blue moon.
All of the above maybe. It was a rainy Monday today too here. Hope you feel better. Blame it on the moon lol. Isn't that a song?
Sorry Lori
