KAIZEN FOR LIFE

I put my dog down yesterday. Dog just isn’t a good enough word for dogs, they are just so much more than that. She was my baby, my world, my sister, my angel, my gorgeous girl.

I don’t know how to think about or do anything. I have never felt such a pain like this before. I’ve dealt with death and it always seems to swipe the floor away from beneath my feet, but this seemed to swipe the entire earth from beneath my feet. I feel like a part of my heart has been ripped out and taken away, part of my soul has just broken in two.

Loving an animal is just the purest love you could possibly. You love unconditionally and they love you unconditional in return. You have a connection based off no speaking – just physical interaction and eye contact. It’s a whole different type of love. I would die a million times over to save her life and now she’s gone.

She’s gone and she’s not coming back and it’s all I can think about. I don’t know how to move through life without her even though I know that I must. I don’t know how to navigate this. I know I will. But right now all I feel is pain and heartache.

Some may read this and think this is dramatic and over the top, but until you have a pet that you have a true bond with and love unconditionally and you feel their unconditional love for you, you will never understand. I hope that one day you do understand. Everyone deserves to feel this love. I would relive all this pain over and over if I could have just one more day with her. The love and memories are worth the pain – that’s how you know it’s love.
