The Day My Heart Broke

Darling Cassie, my brindle rock. A year ago today my heart broke into a zillion pieces when you had to leave for the Bridge. Letting you go was the hardest thing we have ever had to do. I thank the Universe for giving me the strength that day to do what was right for you, while my world fell apart.

There has not been a day in the past year where I haven’t shed at least a few tears – often many more – for you.

We have so many happy memories though. I have spent hours gazing at photographs of you. I am so glad that we have those to treasure, always.

I wanted to use some of my heartache to help other dogs, so I go to the rescue we adopted you from and photograph some of the harder-to-rehome dogs up there, in the hope someone special will fall in love with them, just as we did you, all those years ago.

I had one of my favourite photos of you (the one in my header) printed onto a canvas this week. This beautiful image hangs over the sofa you loved so very much, alongside the print of the little Sis who so adored you. I knew this day would be tough and I wanted something positive to focus on and help me remember the happy, healthy times.

Cassie, we will always remember your Woo-woo-woo, with tears and happiness. You were one in a billion. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being our beautiful girl. Our lives changed for ever the day we met you and the day we had to say goodbye. Thank you for the special sign today. Love you always ♥

My heart goes out to you..I have had my heart broke so many times..Ive had to let old friends go..So so hard to do..but I cant seem to live without a loving ,all trusting,,furry companion or more. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats, an African grey parrot,2 rabbits and a couple of fish tanks..The love they give out weighs the hurt you have to endure when it is time to say good bye…The eyes say it all.I had to comment, as your picture of your beloved friend and what you posted made me cry like a baby..But it was a good cleansing cry..I needed it.Makes me aware of a higher power out there somewhere..Take care and never stop loving..Ann

Hi Ann, thank you for leaving a comment. Sounds as though you have quite a houseful too!

Sorry my post made you cry, but glad it was a cleansing sort of cry! It really is so hard to let them go, but we do it over and over because animals are so wonderful. I can’t imagine life without them.

Best wishes,

Angela
