It's been a while since I've lost one of my animals, but that feeling is fresh again when I see one of their photos or someone asks about them. They're all cherished! {{Hugs to you}}Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02335402223334953355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-90971608054460246402011-11-15T11:24:06.884-08:002011-11-15T11:24:06.884-08:00Well, one thing I know for sure. If you are a per...Well, one thing I know for sure. If you are a person who loves animals, as you do, people don't seem to realize that the very fact that you have them and love them means that your heart is open enough to be REALLY hurt when you lose one. A lot of people just don't seem to be capable of that kind of feeling. It says a lot about you, though - the kind of person who makes the world a better place. And, because of your capability of that kind of depth of feeling, your animals respond to that and KNOW you and love you for it. Koo did. But, as the Goatmother says, souls are like books borrowed from the library. Eventually you have to give them back. But you are so much better for having had the experience.Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109785080000770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-11468610424588469652011-11-15T07:24:40.222-08:002011-11-15T07:24:40.222-08:00We are sooo sorry about Koo.

When you have more critters, statistically that grief is gonna happen on a more regular basis. Indeed, I would interpret the comment as one of admiration -- that you are willing to open your heart to pain on such a regular basis.

Hard...I am truly sorry for your losing your buddy. Hardest part of taking care of our animals...I always feel at fault somehow and I know it just isn't true as we do everything possible we can think of for them. You were the best caretaker and keeper that he could of had. You gave him a wonderful full life. You did GOOD! I just had to put down that little doe I had been caring for for the last 4 months...came home to her with a badly broken backleg...unrepairable. I even took her to the vet who was very very sympathetic as I bawled like a baby while he administered her the dose. He knew..we spend so much devotion caring for our babies. I kept telling myself to stay strong with developing a bond, but that little sweet thing got me good. That little baby imprinted on me and I was just devastated. Please take care and know I've been thinking about you.DebHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062114482783994620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-6001038999065075202011-11-15T04:52:37.800-08:002011-11-15T04:52:37.800-08:00You might have a lot of animals, but you had only ...You might have a lot of animals, but you had only one Koo.Terry Golsonhttp://www.hencam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-81763306448947081132011-11-15T04:32:50.371-08:002011-11-15T04:32:50.371-08:00I felt so sorry for you when I read about the pass...I felt so sorry for you when I read about the passing of Koo and now even worse that you took that person's comment so badly. I really doubt she meant that it is bad for you to have a lot of animals. I think she meant something more along the line of - when you have a lot of animals you risk the chance of losing them and thus losing something that matters to you more than someone who doesn't have animals. <br />Kind of like friends. Having a lot of friends puts you at the same risk, but living a life that brings so many good people, or animals, into your world is so much better than living without them.<br />It is obvious that you enjoy life with your animals and the people around you. Thank you for sharing a very personal moment.The Curryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578679277864538013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-37495038613800138202011-11-14T22:34:42.620-08:002011-11-14T22:34:42.620-08:00A sad post.
