The loss of my beloved Lexi has hit me hard.

And it didn't have to be.

Maureen, you hit the nail straight on the head. It was a vet who caused her devastating death, and I will not rest until there is accountability.

Thank you for your kind, compassionate words. I think there are few things harder in this world than the loss of our wonderful furry friends, their unrequited love, the joy they bring. Whenever she would come up to me, she would first touch my leg with her nose. It took me awhile before I realized she was always giving me a greeting nose kiss! Without knowing this, the vet who came to administer the euthanasia drugs when it was clear she would not come back, and not knowing about her nose kisses, made an imprint of her nose and mailed it to me. I cherish that little imprint.

@Daniel L, <...𝑢𝑛𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒...>. Hardly. The depth of your grief leaps from the page speaking to 𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 love, which goes both ways. It is probably the purest example on the planet, including parent to child which on occasion can run into conditions, and typically adult relationships where rarely is the love so pure and mutual. If you find the latter, it's like heaven on earth. Which is why our intuitive, silly, demanding-but-not-demanding as we freely give to supply their needs and more, unquestioning, curiously intelligent, open-hearted, coded language speaking friends capture our imaginations and hearts and allow our spirits to soar - a little piece of heaven. Clearly her love was not unrequited. A stupid little comment, maybe misplaced, but intended to recognize more accurately what you're processing, and for some time to come. You loved one another unconditionally, yes? Life altering. Irreplaceable. Much empathy for your sadness.
