Thankful Thursday

Life is a crazy mixture of joy and sadness. This view is the moon setting over our new valley. The beauty of the stark peaks jutting above the horizon with the moon setting over them awed me.

Yet, I have these deep pangs of sadness even while soaking up such beauty. I miss our Black Dog.

I am thankful for the beauty of our world and for all the years of happiness with our Black Dog.

    It is so true that when we have shared our lives with a wonderful dog (or cat, or horse)we miss them and are thankful to ave known in almost equal parts when they are gone.

    The words you said he are exactly how I'm getting through the coming trial of losing our big black dog by remembering the past two years all the love and all the fun and his beautiful face and hanging onto every minute with it. I fully understand your sadness

    What an unusual and stunning picture. Losing a beloved dog is one of the worst things that can happen to those of us who choose to live with them and love them for their way too short lives. I know you know this, of course. Thinking of you with love.

    Beautiful photo. Knowing that losing a fur baby is always hard, all I can do is offer virtual hugs.

    grief is like that.
    happiness comes again in odd little ways... little by little.
    but the sad is there to stay for a long long time.
    sending you love. xo

    We understand. Glad you're allowing bits of joy in. It can feel disloyal in a way, can't it? But the joy and grief are all a part of love, as you well know.

    Gorgeous photo. Nothing will ever replace the times and feelings you had with your black dog, but in time the memories will bring more happiness and less sorrow.
