Love and Loss (of a pet)

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” – Anatole France

L is for Love and Loss (of a pet)

The emotion of love is an affection that we feel for someone or something. There are a multitude of different kinds of love we share and receive. Self-love, the love of our parents, the love of our spouses, the love of friends, and the love of money and material things are all individual types of love. But the most unconditional love of all, in my opinion, is given to us by our devoted pets. These wonderful creatures do not judge us, do not care how we look or what we have to give them, and they trust us implicitly. They become a part of our bonded family. And when a beloved animal passes the death can be as devastating as losing a much loved person.

In memory of all our beloved pets I am sharing this video. This song became a hit in 1976. It was written and sung by Henry Gross, the lead guitarist of the band Sha Na Na. The inspiration of this song came about through his witnessing the grief Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys was experiencing over the loss of his dog Shannon.

Synonym of love – devotion

Also known as Ms57Classic I came into this world on a summer morning on July 22, 1957. Newborn babies usually do not cry real tears at birth because their tear ducts have not formed yet. But I cried real tears! I have been through many things in my life and have dealt with a multitude of situations and emotions. I have been married and divorced twice. I am an ex-navy wife. I am a mom, a Grammie of 8 (so far), a sister, an aunt, and a friend of longevity. I have a son and a son-in-law in the US Navy and am very proud of their job decision and their accomplishments. My job as a mother is FOREVER. It will not stop when a child of mine reaches the age of 18! I have always been well liked, but not liked by all. I can stretch a dollar like it’s a rubber band. I like the person I am. I graduated from a writing school. I am in the process of writing a book. I graduated from University of Phoenix at the age of 56 with an associate’s degree in Art. I am disabled, having a multitude of health issues. I had a corneal transplant and since then have become an advocate for organ and tissue donation. One of my hobbies is finding those who share the exact birthday as me – July 22, 1957. There is much more ABOUT ME but I guess you will have to follow my blog if you’d like to find these things out : )

  1. I absolutely agree. Pets touch us in a way that is totally different from how people do. Not better or worse, just different, and special.
