As the title states, I lost my soul dog and best friend of 17 years nearly 5 months ago. He was the one constant in my life, no matter how much changed around me he was always there. He brought so much light into my life, and sometimes I deeply feel like the woman who existed when he was alive is no more. In the beginning the grief was heavy, I cried every day for who knows how long. A lot of my routine revolved around him, especially in his final years. I'm doing okay now, I don't cry everyday anymore and the grief does feel lighter. It does still come in waves though, on days like today. I miss my little buddy so much. His name was Scrappy.
