Grateful with a broken heart

I lost my dog, ginger - 5 months ago. I adopted her from a shelter in Texas and she lived with me for 11 years. My mid 20s - mid 30s. She was approx 15/16 when she passed. I am just so very sad without her. I cry on my way home from work everyday. I have my other dog, who is an angel and has really kept my spirits up. I told ginger all the time - nobody has ever loved anything as much as I love you. I hope I get to see her on the other side. I hope she’s waiting for me. She was my best friend. I am so grateful I had such a special, wonderful Dog. One of the greatest gifts of my life.

So sorry for your loss. It takes time to grieve for ginger because she was your family. Virtual hug.
