Johnny,

My heart is with you. I have lost (from natural causes and putting to sleep) many, many of my animals over the years. Animals that are not mine come to my house to die with dignity because they know they will be loved as they pass. It is never easy saying goodbye to a beloved pet. In reading your post I can feel how much you love Pinky T. He knows it, too. I believe our animals choose us. Some stay for a long time, others a very short time. I think he chose to be with you during your time of growth. What a gift he gave to you! When you have your ceremony (or if you get this message afterward), talk to him about how much he meant to you. Thank him for all he gave you and for choosing to be with you. I believe they hear and feel everything we say to them. His energy will be with you afterwards, so pay attention to little signs. When you remember him, he is right there with you saying “Hello.”

Much love,

Jenny

Hi Johnny

My deepest condolences, losing a family member is heartbreaking. When my dog passed away in my arms I decided to prepare a photograph of her and weave a flower garland for her memorial. We packed her ashes in a beautiful scarf and laid her to rest with her favorite toys. We also kept a candle lit for her at the windowsill so she could find her way home.

I’m sure Pinky T knows how much you love him and he will live on and return to your side in a different form.

It’s about 3 years later and we welcomed a new addition to the family. We really think he is a reincarnation of my original puppy but she will always hold a special place in my heart.

Best of luck to you.
🙂
