Subject: hi kt and sez

hi kt and sez
just wanted to say i know how you're feelin. i know some people think its a bit pathetic being so upset over an animal but when my dog died it was the first time i'd ever experienced something so close to me dying. i didn't realise until he wasn't there how much of an impact he'd had on my day to day life. something as simple as hanging my arm over the side of the sofa and expecting to feel him nudge my hand cos he wanted a stroke really upset me cos i'd do it automatically then remember he wasn't there.
its several years since he died and now i just remember how great it was to have him around and the funny things he used to do.
it must be hard for both of you losing a relative and your dog near the same time. try to stay strong. take care x

Subject: for KT and H

Hi kt,
Max was very ill, so we had him put to sleep. he had diabetes, cushins disease, sight failure and it weren't fair to him. I made the mistake of going back to school the next day - i broke down and ended up on anti depressants. when my great aunt died it made it worse cos she was ill. but the comfort to me was that they were now together and i know that my great aunt would look after Max and Max would protect her. I'm sorry to hear that your dog died in a tragic accident, i can't imagine how that would be.
H - thanks for your advice. Its nice to know that somebody actually knows how i feel over losing one of my dogs. It may seem stupid, but knowing how upset i was over Max worries me because if I was that upset over Max, then I can't imagine how upset I'll be over Ben when he passes away. (We've had Ben longer). I don't really know what to expect.
Keep smiling
