Today is October 27th, the Day of the Dead for Pets, and I’m thinking about my own pets who are no longer here: Kitten, Phoebe, Minou, Peeka, and Boo ❤️
They become part of all the little, everyday things that make up our lives. The sound of their paws on the floor, the spot they always slept in, the way they looked at you like you were their whole world, because you probably were. And when they’re gone, it’s those little things we find ourselves missing the most. It’s the ordinary things we’d give anything to experience just one more time.
Through Green Mountain Paws, I’ve also had the pleasure of loving and caring for so many other pets, some of whom are no longer here. When I care for someone else’s pets, I pour all of my love into them just as I did my own. And for the ones I’ve had to say goodbye to, a piece of my heart went with them, too. I feel so lucky to have known and loved each and every one of them.
Today, I’m thinking about those pets and their families, too. I know how much they’re loved and how deeply they’re missed.
What a gift it is to have loved them, and to have been loved by them.
