Prayer request for Mark (Sharp N' Shiny Knives SSk) and Wife

[OSCAR]

Mark. I’m sure he had a great life with dog owners that loved him very much. God bless. All dogs go to heaven. Can’t say that about people though.

Mark I've been down the road you find yourself on right now and it's a tough one. Dogs just have a way of wrapping themselves around our hearts. I lost a beloved furry family member a little over four years ago and I still miss him. Time does make it more bearable. The heartache we feel when we lose a pet is the price we must pay for the unconditional love they give us. You're in my prayers.

They are not called man's best friend for nothing. I know it is so sad when we lose one, but the way i look at it is, think of all the good, funny and pleasurable times you have had with them, this far out ways the sadness.

Tom, thank you. I know it’s been a month and a half since we lost our “Maddie”, but it is still hard. My wife is still grieving this loss. Every time she gets in the car to mail a knife , Maddie would be right there with her and now she isn’t. So many reminders everywhere in the house. We were both in tears yesterday talking about her and looking at pictures of her. She was our constant companion and had so much character, it still seems like the light in our home has gone out. I know time will help and I appreciate the love and friendship and so many here on the forum. Thank you again.

Mark,
About 2 years ago, I had to put my aged and loved dog Abby to sleep. I swore I would never get another. About one month later, I realized I wouldn't be replacing her (I couldn't). They (like people) are individuals. I realized then that so many dogs need a good loving home, and I was feeling selfish for not giving another dog the love they all deserve. I went to the pound and adopted Stella. No, she does not "replace" Abby, but she is a lovable dog who would have been otherwise euthanized. It never gets easier to lose a family member, but when I got over my grieving, I was glad I could save another life. My only re3gret is I can't save them all. Totally different personality, not a replacement, but I love her just as much. Once again, I am so sorry for your loss.....
