How to Heal a Broken Heart
I haven't been on the computer in a while. I lost my very best friend and companion. Benny was the perfect dog so sweet and cute as a button. He would have been 15 in July, last November he was diagnosis with cancer and the vet only gave him him a few weeks. I prayed for more time and I am thankful God answered my prayers and gave me a couple of more months. I treasure each day we shared. But I miss him dearly and trying so desperately to fill this empty feeling. Benny was so special, it's been so hard to go down and work in my studio we spent so much time there together . No matter how long I worked at my torch he would stay by my side. He was the runt of the litter and but for such a tiny little guy he had the biggest heart. I don't think I will ever love another dog as much as I loved him. And for right now I don't want too. I will always remember our time and feel so lucky that he was a part of my life.

What a lovely animal and your comments about him brought a tear. It took me almost 20 years to truly re-attach my heart to a dog after my childhood pet died at seventeen (I was 22). I'll always remember my Freckles, as you will always remember your Benny. Thanks for sharing.

Lou,
I'm so sorry to hear about your best friend passing away. I recently lost my dog in Feb. too and I agree it has been hard. I miss him more than I would miss some of my friends. How sad is that. Anyways, my thoughts are with you. It's hard to say goodbye to someone who was there for you no matter what.
Dear Lou,
We've been out of touch and I was trying to track you down and found this post. I'm so, so sorry about your Benny. It breaks my heart to read this and I hope you've had some healing in the months since. As we discussed on the phone many months ago, I lost my beloved lab Sara awhile back at 15; she died at home in my arms. A year before that, my sweet Shepherd mix Kate was put to sleep at age 14.5. It always hurts, but there are sweet memories, too. I'm thinking of you.
