[Emma the Lab]

The men in heaven surround her just like on earth. All males loved her, she on the other hand chose her company very carefully. I'm sure handsome Wes is charming her right now.

Dog people -- the JL people -- 'get it.' Whereas colleagues and other friends are sympathetic to a point and then move on, there is understanding here that some days are good and some days are not so good. That sometimes I want to laugh about some silly thing that Wesley used to do. And other days I just replay and replay and replay his final moments and let the tears crawl down my cheeks.

It's a view that is probably born of the fact that every single dog owner someday faces that same pain and emptiness.

I hope things start to brighten up for you, Veronica, in your own good time.

FWIW -- Wesley was rather a ladies man. As an intact male, other males made him a little dominant, but his heart went pitty-pat for a cutie pie of the opposite sex. I could definitely see him giving Em a friendly nudge. Inviting her for a swim. Sharing a bone. Making room for her on his cloud-bed......

I completely agree. When I lost Casey friends were sympathetic of course, but could not understand why months later I would cry for her. It is nice that everyone here really does "get it" and it is nice to have that support system. I hope you are doing well...((hugs)) for you also.

And vice-versa!

No words really - just wish I could sit with you under Sweet Emma's Cherry tree a bit and listen to another story about her.

You all are making me cry at work again. I'm glad my boss is a dog person and he gets it too, or this would become embarrassing.

I like to think that Reggie is with her too. Perhaps he and Wes showing her the good spots and escorting her around.
