&lt;p&gt;Feel free, often pop it into Hamster sympathy cards, as it is true, &amp;quot;what is only a pet to you is a lifetime of friendship and true companionship to me&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not aimed at you nurses, but to joe public who just don&amp;#39;t get it sometimes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although try explaining to people how a bengalcat told you that &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Winking_smiley.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Talking of the wee boy, he&amp;#39;s sat on someone&amp;#39;s portfolio....it is a working document right? So pawprints don&amp;#39;t matter &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Tonque_out_smiley.png" alt="Stick out tongue" /&gt; Giving it his seal of approval!&lt;/p&gt;

Every animal is held in my heart still. Mine or someone elses, I often find myself thinking of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I worry for when I lose my wee man (I know I&amp;#39;m having borrowed time with him) He means the world to me, I don&amp;#39;t know how I&amp;#39;ll feel when he&amp;#39;s gone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least I know, here, I&amp;#39;ll find people who understand, as you have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Even the smallest of beasts leave big footprints in your heart&amp;quot; - bengalcat &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;no idea if someone else has said this, but I tell every client, every friend, this. When someone (animal or human) means the world to you, you will know you mean the world to them. They loved you, and only want you to remember the bestest times, and reflect on the best, coz in that way they will continue to live on in your heart and mind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I lost my special Nirvana Banana Pooch in Sept 2007, and although it does get easier with time, I sill have the odd cry &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Sad_smiley.png" alt="Sad" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;((((HUGS))))&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I rang the pet bereavement helpline, and they were very helpful and supportive. My family were all gutted, but the guy on the helpline REALLY understood the heartache, and the&amp;nbsp; pooch shaped hole she left in my life - I would really recommend them&lt;/p&gt;
