When Your Best Friend Has Four Paws and Leaves Too Soon

Ever had a pet who basically ran your house? That was my dog, who could outsmart any baby gate and had a sixth sense for when I needed a cuddle. Last year, someone in our neighborhood decided to leave out poisoned food. Luna found it before I did. I still check the backyard expecting her to barrel out, tail wagging, demanding snacks and belly rubs. It’s wild how much space a pet takes up in your life—and how quiet it gets when they’re gone. I keep finding her toys in weird places, like she’s playing hide and seek from the other side. Some days I laugh at her old antics, some days I just miss her like crazy. If you’ve ever lost a pet, you get it. They’re not just animals; they’re family, chaos, and comfort all rolled into one furry package. Hug your pets a little tighter tonight. You never know when it’s the last time. #PetLoss #PetLove #Grief #Pets #Cats
