1. These quiet friends…
“Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.” – John Galsworthy
2. Paw Prints on Our Hearts
It’s so true that “the paw prints left on our hearts never fade.” My heart is covered in them.
3. The loss is incomprehensible
“We should never underestimate the powerful draw of a bond with a being that loves us unconditionally, asking very little in return. Losing this comfort and source of joy can be incomprehensible.”
– Linda Lipshutz
4. When tomorrow starts without me
This one made me cry. My favorite part-
“So, when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart.
Every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart. “
5. Between hello and goodbye
“Don’t forget, somewhere between hello and goodbye, there was love. So much love.”

6. Love that lasts
“Pets in their brief life, they give us love that lasts the rest of ours.”
7. They walk beside us
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.

I like to imagine that my dogs are just in the next room. At night, I still talk to them like they’re sleeping with me.
8. Angels have 4 paws
“Everyone is taught that angels have wings, but the lucky ones of us find they have 4 paws.”
While I’m not religious myself, I still think this is a beautiful sentiment.
For those who do believe in angels, it may be just the right thing to say.
