I am so sorry for your loss of Suso. My hardest loss, almost ten years ago, was of my English Bull. I drew and painted her during her life, but never could afterwards. It was a long hard road back into my life, a life in which I always carry her and can feel in my body exactly where I do, can feel her there.
What I have done since is painted animals whose deaths have left others bereft and have given those people the original or prints. In the last week I have delivered painting and prints of an old hippopotamus and had the honor of being there for many people's last visits before her death.
I know others write songs or poems to capture their bereavement.
Oh no! I'm sorry -- it's SO hard. Ugh. It just doesn't seem fair. This audiobook helped me understand my feelings when my pup Lisa died. It was comforting and validating without religious messages. 💞
Reading this post caused me physical pain in my heart. It was a very hard read for it reflected the pain of losing a loved one, the absolute worst thing in the world, and I am really sorry for your loss of a beloved pet. Sending hugs.
My last fluff was a black lab x collie x lurcher. She was the most loyal (no toilet or bath on your own) dog. The most paranoid (dog on your shoulder like a parrot can hurt when they are big) and most stupid dog ever. She was terrified of people and cars, so of course she peed in the gutter and glared at the vehicles in an 'I dare you' manner. With all of her weirdness, you would expect her to be terrified of Thunder and Lightening, but nope. She would sit by my side and watch the sky bark and flash quite happily. Even when the local gas works was hit with lightening and the building shook (closer buildings actually lost windows) she gave one bark at the sky in a 'don't you get mouthy' manner and watched the rest of the sky show.
I miss that idiot. She was taken from us far too soon. I promise one day to have another idiot and will teach it the ways of Troi.
I would love a gift membership if one is available.
I'm so sorry for your loss and so happy for the live thatcyou got to share with SuSo and everyone who got to know her.
We have loved and lost many pets. It never gets easier to lose one. This post made me cry, something I've been holding back for a while. Thank you for sharing your joy and grief. It opened me up.
My mini schnauzer named Dalai is always at my side. I can garden for hours and suddenly worry about her whereabouts, only to find she is starring me down. In another life she’ll certainly be the on in charge. She’s an interesting dog because she is independent and somehow needy (vulnerable) at the same time. She is food driven! I never knew when I began my Yummy journey, exploring vegetables that Dalai would be such a help. One chop on the cutting beard and she awakes from the deepest slumber. I love that she can enjoy so many veggies! Always plain.
from your fans in WA State: we're sending all our love to Suso, whose sweet face kept me and my 3yo company through the pandemic. We drew so many portraits of Suso together! My little one is 7 now, and we just had a moment of remembrance for your pup. ART, and your good work with DrawTogether, continues to bring together so many creatures, large and small, in hard times. RIP Suso. xoxo.
