I have finally accepted the fact that I am just not very great with keeping up with our blog. Unfortunately, over the past few weeks we’ve had a really good excuse. We had to say goodbye to not only our dog, Blitz.
He was a member of our family. We loved him as if he were our child. It was by far, the most difficult decision we’ve ever made. We have had so many tell us that we made the right decision, that he would be grateful, we were selfless, or that they too have been in this situation. Unfortunately, none of these things have given me much comfort. I am not sure anyone can understand the magnitude to which we loved this animal. The hole in our hearts is so large. I’m sure that this is just a stage of my grieving. I feel as if a part of me is missing. I look for him in our home and I smell him every time I come inside. I lay in bed at night waiting for him to come to the side of the bed to be pet. Life just isn’t the same without him.
I wanted to share a few of our favorite photos and I hope to put together a special project to share soon.
Blitz was a great cuddler, spooner, eater, listener, and conversationalist. He always let us dress him up in silly costumes. He loved to chase cats - even until his last few days. He loved Corey more than anyone else and Corey loved to remind me of that! He hated having his photo taken - typical photographer’s child. He loved family time.
I picked up his urn today from the vet and although it is a bit creepy, I am comforted to know that he is home again.
I took a few photos several months ago and we have more recent ones to share soon.
One of my favorite photos.
He loved to talk and we loved to listen.
If you made it this far, congrats! I will share our most recent session soon.
We also let go of my childhood pet, Sugarbear, about 6 weeks before Blitz. I had her from elementary school all the way through college and marriage. I look forward to sharing some of my favorite photos of her!
