You gotta get’em out before you can move on. Punch’em out, Play’em out or Cry’em out, but they gotta come out.

Basically we have to start our lives over and find new purpose.
It sure is tough!

Hobbies don't beat the blue's, he plays them.

Don't hesitate to reminisce with someone who knows Jootz. Talk about all of the silly, funny, and smart things that dog did.
Take notice that I typed "knows" in the present tense. No accident. You don't have to get over the loss of Jootz. Point to your heart. He's right there, and always will be.
Go hike on that mountain trail and pee right where Jootz always did. That'll get your mind where it orta be.

I dreamed about her last night; she was healthy and excited and used to do this rolling thing on the floor and scratch the carpet and grumble . She hasn’t done that in many months. It brought me a little peace because I know she is no longer in pain

When my wife and I first got married we made a pet out of a milk cow. After her first calf we were devastated when she died. An old lady at church told us that as long as death stayed at the barn we would do well.
A few months later my wife was with child, and we had big dreams and plans. Fixed up a bed that had been handed down in the family and a rocking chair of my great grandfather.
We started fixing up a little room for a nursery. Then she miscarried. We was devastated, but I was grateful I still had her even tho it wasn't in His plan that we would have any more.

From Job :
“We bring nothing at birth;
we take nothing
with us at death.
The Lord alone gives and takes.
Praise the name of the Lord!”

I hope that you would be blessed and get to a better place right now and you seem to be doing that !

Really puts things into perspective. Thank you for taking the time to share with me. We all struggle in this life together. Makes you realize that you need friends to help you along. I’m always grateful that I can talk to people about it
Chuckie had to work today so I am spending time with mom. That’ll be nice
