Losing a pet is very difficult. We've been adopted by a cat and like you mention, it doesn't take long for them to work their way into your heart.

So as you know, I know, the loss and love of an unconditional heart that beats in a fur coat. Max is laying in god's sunny spot today. I'm so sorry, my Cat.

We don't realize how much they impact our lives till they're gone. They're with us everyday, through good times and bad. I'm so sorry for your loss. Beautiful post.

Wish I could magically appear and offer you some comfort or maybe a smile, but I can't. So, please know I'm thinking of you and your family. I'm so sorry this summer has been so difficult.

Soo sorry, I know this is hard, and is not how you want to end your summer. I know you know that you gave Max the ultimate gift. The most unselfish thing you could have done for him even though it was incredibly difficult. May his memory be comforting to you, so many years of unconditional love.

This year has been bad for so many people for so many reasons. If this is a test, I hope we all get rewarded with a balance of joy next year.

It is so hard to find the right words to say when friends are hurting. We can only reach out with heartfelt love in thoughts and prayers. Know that when we love there is always the risk that it can so easily be shattered. True love lives on. We may not have the physical presence of a person or a beloved pet but there will always be an unseen presence that reminds us how much the love that was shared between us has not died. A thought of a special moment, lessons learned and even the pain and sorrow that comes with a relationship will always be with us. I pray that you will find a comfort and peace in knowing that our heavenly father loves us so much and His presence will guide us through these difficult days.
Love and Hugs,
Bo

The only thing that comes to mind is what I know you already understand -- that the kind of grief you feel is born from love like no other. You can't have one without the other. My heart and thoughts are with you and the family your beloved Max adored so much.
