Ok, so super random but I just have to send some love to her. I being a crazy dog lover myself, know exactly how she is feeling. There are people who love dogs, then there are people who REALLY love their dogs. There is a huge difference between owner and parent. She was Chewy’s mom. Like I was Lucy’s mom.

Her Instagram caption reads…“I still can’t quite catch my breath.”

I feel so bad because I know what that feels like. I couldn’t breathe. I remember sitting for hours in my living room holding Lucy. I couldn’t move. I’m choking up now and it’s been almost two years.

I don’t know if I could go through something like that again. I have Tyson who came into my life while Lucy was still alive. I love him to pieces. But Lucy was my first love. My first heartbreak ever. I can’t imagine losing Tyson but it’s inevitable, I know. All living things pass.

Anyways, I just wanted to send some love out there into the ether for Minka. I’m sorry. The pain is going to be raw for a long time. One morning you’ll wake up, think of Chewy and smile instead of your heart wrenching with pain and emptiness.

I can actually scroll through photos of Lucy now. I use to not be able to 🙂

Love going out there to everyone who may be going through this. XOXO
