I was thinking about my doggy loss this morning too, and then I came here and read about yours. Your entry brings back deep memories.
On another grief site, people who lose loved ones get upset when grief over a pet is mentioned. This is a good web site. Loss of a pet can trigger depression and that trigger can last a long time. Sometimes we feel a deeper emotion toward our pets that to our people, but when we lose a person, it all comes into perspective. Pet emotion is still emotion and it helps us with people emotion. We learn how to feel by feeling. Simple as that.
I'm feeling emotional today in my old grief for people and pets. Maybe now that it has been shared, it will ease. I'm glad you told us about your dog Dinah. I accidentally killed mine too.
