Three months will make a year since Khloe passed away. It's crazy, in some ways it feels so much longer since I've had him at my side, sometimes it feels like just yesterday he was here...
A little rant: I hate that people are so careful not to mention him around me. I was talking with a friend of my sister's, about how I have adopted another dog. She asked if we still had Khloe, I told her that he had passed away. She apologized. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up." I understand that they don't want to upset me. I get it, really. I just wish they wouldn't. It hurts me, like we're pretending he was never here, you know?
I feel so alone sometimes. He was my dog. My buddy. Always at my side. So I'm the only one really feeling the impact of losing him. I wouldn't want anyone else to hurt like I do at losing him, but it's hard to be grieving alone.

I know what you mean. When Logan passed on I had no one that I could talk to about it because my husband and Logan never bonded. I would cry while driving to and from work and at night when I was alone in my sewing room. If by chance I was caught crying by my husband he would ask me "what's the matter?" and if I said I was sad or missing Logan he would say some hurtful thing like "aren't you done with that yet?"

Feel free to paw mail me if you need someone who understands. I am in the process of packing up my current house and moving to New Mexico so I might not be able to get back to you soon, but I will.

I'm very sorry that Khloe has left your side. I like to believe that someday we will be reunited with those that we have loved, until then hold on to all of the memories that you have together.

My Mom agrees with Marilynn. It is difficult when people think they are 'helping' by not mentioning that we've left. We were here, you saw us, together, don't act like we didn't exist! You are doing great with Kail, and your love for Khloe will never end!
