I'm sorry for your loss too Brother. I know how it feels when you miss someone that you spent many years with. 🐶🐶:cry:
I loved the portrait Brother, it is beautiful! I'm very fond of Bastet, She's wonderful!
I'll share a bit of my story here:
Years ago I lost two female dogs, mother and her "daughter". The younger one suddenly got sick, with a certainly fatal disease. We did everything to save her, but time didn't help and she passed away with 9 years old. A day before she was playing around with her ball, as if nothing was wrong with her. Me and my mother was so attached to her, she loved to play with toys. Every time my mother went to my room to put something inside my drawers, the dog appeared immediately to check what she was doing in my room, being very vigilant. She loved jumping in my bed to put all my stuffed animals to the floor (this bed is only mine!🐶 ).
I still suspect that maybe it was a curse that affected her, it was during the time when we were doing the Rituals and the Returning Curses first appeared. It was too sudden that happened to her, she wasn't showing any signs of feeling ill. We cried for many days, I've loved her so much. When we buried her, I placed the ball with her.
Her mother stayed with us for a couple of time, she was 3 years older than her "daughter". But since she was older, her health started to decline. She couldn't walk anymore, her kidneys weren't working as they should, and at her age we couldn't risk a surgery. We decided to do euthanasia, we didn't want to see her suffer any longer.
When we lost our dogs, my mother didn't want to ever adopt an animal anymore. She didn't want to pass through the pain of losing it again. I comforted her, telling her that they were very happy with us, that all those special moments made us smile. At many times when I felt sad, the dogs were around to show me love, and make me feel better. They shown me the importance of living each day to the fullest, that even small things like playing with a ball was significant in their life, because it meant a lot to them to be around with their loved ones, every time they could (the older one played with the ball too).
After a while my mother went to an animal shelter and adopted a new dog. She's not like the two of them before, but she is very adorable in her own way. Very attached to me, loves sleeping in my room, sunbaths everyday in the morning (is she aura cleaning? 🤔), and dreams every time she sleeps (sometimes she barks and growls while sleeping lol). Afterwards we adopted a male cat that chose us at the day we were moving in to a new house (he was from a neighbor that moved out and didn't return to get his cat back). The funny part is that my dog gets very jealous towards him, because she feels like she's the only beautiful one in the house. (Take the cat away! He does not belong here!) :ROFLMAO:
Instead of comparing the new animals with the others, I realized that they deserve to have a place in my heart too, that it is their time to receive love, and care from the family. In the beginning there will be mourning and painful days, we will remember them every day, but eventually acceptance will come, since we know that they were taken care of in the afterlife, and their time with us was very meaningful to them. After some time you probably might find her again, reincarnated, or a new friend that deserves your love.
