  • Losses

    From Janis Kracht@1:261/38 to Sean Dennis on Saturday, March 06, 2021 15:46:12
    Hi Sean,

    I'm sorry for all of the loss of beloved pets that's happened in the echo lately. I know it's a part of life but it's one of the toughest things you
    have to deal with.

    Yes indeed...

    I've had to put down several pets in my life and then bury
    them out in the back 40. It's always hard but they live on in your heart.

    Yes, they do. I think the one I remember most was Fred, a black and white alley cat we had ages ago. At the time, my daughter loved to stuff Fred in her doll carriage and took him with her for walks down the street. That cat loved to ride in it :) :) When Fred died, my dad found a fancy wooden box for him and Dad buried Fred on his property in Warwick, N.Y.

    Wishing you all a healed heart.

    Very thoughtful, Sean.

    Take care,
    Janis

    Sean,

    echo lately. I know it's a part of life but it's one of the toughest things you have to deal with. I've had to put down several pets in my life and then bury them out in the back 40. It's always hard but they live on in your heart.

    Plus, you have the wonderful memories of each one...and that all of
    them are waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for you. At least there, they
    won't barf or poop on your shoes...and they will be eager for belly
    rubs. :) And, they won't have to worry about "tail sprains"...I heard
    of one dog so happy that his owner had come back home from being away
    so long, that he wagged his tail so hard, he sprained it!!

    I think the owner was a veteran...and THANK YOU to all those who have
    served their countries. I never would've passed the physical, as I had
    poor eyesight for 40 years, and was born without arches in my feet.
