Here's the thing. Animals are pure, and innocent. Pets depend on us, to care for them, feed them, and love them. They provide love and emotional support in return. You cannot help but get attached to your pet, and they truly become your baby. Not a baby you give birth to, but a baby in a sense that you open up your heart and home to this thing, and it becomes a part of your life immensely.
Things are great, but sometimes, things aren't so great. Sometimes, you lose your fur baby/babies. In this moment when they're gone, a part of your heart is gone. It is one of those moments, that the world just stops, and your heartbreaks. It may not always be on the same page of losing a family member, but it is a similar caliber.
A little bit ago, I lost a couple of my fur babies. I cannot tell you how much it hurt. It felt like my heart just sank into my stomach. There was nothing I could do, and I know I just had to make them comfortable for the last it of their lives. I did everything I could for my little fur babies, but they were just not meant to carry on.
The next day, it was so hard. I had to take care of the cage, and everything that I had had for my fur babies. This was just like losing them again, and it meant it happened. They weren't going to be running around anymore, cuddling with me whenever I was sad, and listening to me sing to them. Taking apart the cage meant that I wasn't living a dream.
After the next couple of days, I had to make it through many different break downs. I had erased everything that reminded me of them. I had to remind myself that they were happy. That they were no longer in pain. It was hard, and still today it is hard. I just know, that they have crossed over the rainbow bridge.
This does not stop me from loving other animals, and opening my heart. If anything, each loss makes me open my heart more. Just to know that there are more animals who I can ensure have comfy lives, where they are loved. Never close your heart after losing a fur baby. Take as much time as you need, and then see if you can give another animal a loving home for their life span. It is never easy, but it is always worth it in the end.
