The Loss of a Dog

On Saturday we lost my dog Samson.

We all had a chance to say goodbye to him Saturday morning.  I sat next to him, and pet him and told him that he was a good dog.  I told him that he didn’t need to hold on any longer.  He was a good dog.  If you have been watching my channel for some time, you know what a big part he was in my family.

I know that my grief does not compare to so many who are grieving the loss of loved ones at this time of the pandemic, yet I still grieve.  It is a different kind of grief, yet it is a real feeling.  Samson was a big part of my life for the past 8 years.  When we brought Samson home, we knew it would be for life. We also knew that Bernese Mountain dogs do not have a long lifespan.  He was my buddy, my shadow.  Dogs hold a special place in our lives.  I can tell you that Samson held a special place in my life.  I am sad at my loss, and I miss my dog…My life is different now.  Better for having had Samson in my life.
