&lt;p&gt;my dear pooch passed almost 3 years ago, but she is still with me, and i still burst into tears at the most innapropriate (sic) moments when i think of her. i have other pets, but though i love them, she was my &amp;#39;one&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;however, i can now look back and enjoy the memories - it took a while - it isn&amp;#39;t easy - but let yourself grieve, and in time you will be able to laugh at the memories - it seems impossible now, i know, but time is a great healer - cliche&amp;#39; but true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;at the time, someone told me i had a pooch shaped hole in my heart - only pooch could fill it, and she was gone - that hole is now filled with wonderful memories, but at the time it felt like my heart had been ripped out -like i said, the pooch shaped hole is now filled by wonderful memories - i still miss her, but i know i did the right thing, and i gave her the dignity she deserved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;think of rainbow bridge :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so sorry for your loss - hugs xxxx&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: RIP Poly</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/61454?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:56:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:41217973-e7a4-4a45-9f8c-84b322c91789</guid><dc:creator>Vicky RVN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tears are fine, let them come.&amp;nbsp; Don&amp;#39;t try to bottle it up, let your emotions out, people will expect that.&amp;nbsp; Try to spend your time remembering the good times with Poly, and cuddle your other kitties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Poly is at peace now, playing and eating yummy food with the other animals at rainbow bridge.&lt;/p&gt;
