It's with a heavy heart and deep sympathy for our friends Bob, Kristin, and daughters Lexi and Elle, today, on the loss of their beloved pet, Wyatt. As the quintessential golden retriever, for 13 years he was a loyal friend and companion. He will be missed by his family as well as many friends. Knowing that he is in a better, pain free place only helps a little. God bless, Old Boy. You loved and were loved so very much and it was a blessing to have had you in this world. xoWhat is it about our attachments to our pets? I once lost a dog and could barely function for days. My heart was broken. Pets insinuate themselves into our lives in a way that can hardly be described. The joy and unconditional love from a pet is like no other relationship in our lives. We are instantly super heroes. Their routines become our routines as they blend seamlessly into our days. Like children, we anticipate their needs and they know just when to throw a special look our way. A dog-or cat-looks at us with the most loving, trusting eyes that reflect back the very best part of ourselves. I read a quote that says, "Be the person your dog thinks you are." We can at least try. xo

You really do not want me to respond with actual honesty so let me just say...I hope the little girls find another pet to lavish good upon soon.
I am sorry to hear that. Pets can be such gifts.
Mark, just save it. This is no time for honesty, as you wisely deduced. The girls are slowly coming to grips with the horrible reality of life with out Wyatt.xo
Charles-Thanks so much. Pets are completely and totally little angels. Have a great week you two. xo
Speaking of pets, Jodi, did you happen to see Liberace: Behind the Candelabra?
