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.
