    It’s the little things in life that matter most.
    I know this will change but my 9-year old will still…
    • Ask to go on my shoulders…
    • Hold my hand…
    • Wrestle with me…
    But for now I remind myself just how fortunate I am to be in this season of life.
    Since he’s an only child I only have one tour.
    And I know soon these things won’t happen.
    But until then I embrace them…in fact, they live for them!
    This is a picture of me and him during our daily routine of me taking him to the bathroom to brush his teeth. I could say no to giving him a ride there but I pretty sure he won’t ask me to do this forever.
    So, for now, I will say “yes” every time!
    Life’s short, embrace the moments that matter!
    What are the moments you live for?

    In Memory of all those who went over the rainbow bridge. You all have a place forever in our hearts 💕
    They tell you not to cry.
    They tell you that it’s just a dog, not a human being.
    They tell you that the pain will be over.
    They tell you that the animals don’t know that they have to die.
    They tell you that it’s important not to let him suffer.
    They tell you that you can have another one.
    They tell you it’s going to happen to you.
    They tell you that there is more pain.
    But they don’t know how many times you’ve looked into your dog’s eyes.
    They don’t know how many times you and your dog have looked into darkness alone.
    They don’t know how many times your dog was the only one who was by your side.
    They don’t know how much fear you have
    at night when you wake up with your grief.
    They don’t know how many times your dog slept near you.
    They don’t know how much you’ve changed since the dog has become a part of your life.
    They don’t know how many times you hugged him when he was sick.
    They don’t know how many times you’ve acted like you didn’t see her hair getting whiter.
    They don’t know how many times you’ve talked to your dog, the only one who really hears.
    They don’t know that it was just your dog who knew you were in pain.
    They don’t know what it feels like to see your old dog trying to say hello.
    They don’t know that if things went wrong, the only one who didn’t go is your dog.
    They don’t know that your dog trusts you every moment of his life, even in the last.
    They don’t know how much your dog loved you and how it is enough for him to be happy, because you loved him.
    They don’t know that crying for a dog is one of the most noble, significant, true, clean and warmest things you can do.
    They don’t know when the last time you moved him with trouble… made sure it didn’t hurt him.
    They don’t know what it felt like to pet their face in the last moments of their life….

    The lion replied: “If you believe it is true, the grass is blue.” Read more …
