[Sabu's mom]

Hi,

So sorry for your loss. Believe me the hurt of the loss does get easier w/time. I posted back in June 2006, when we lost our baby of 11 years, Sabu. At that time, I didn't know how I would possibly go on functioning w/out Sabu in our lives. I was crushed, to say the least. The first few weeks were so painful, words cannot describe. However, the pain of the loss did lessen with each passing week.

I still miss Sabu everyday and there are times when I still cry, thinking of him. We have so many happy memories, though, and that makes it easier. He was a special, gentle soul...

We have since gotten another rottie. When Sabu died, I said I would never get another dog - I couldn't bear the thought of getting that attached to another dog and then going thru the loss of him or her. However, those rotties tug at your heart and you can't help but want another.

Our new pup, now 7 mos. old, is nothing like our easy going Sabu. The new pup, Taz, is a bundle of energy who gets into everything. Never a dull moment w/our new guy.

Anyhow, my heart definitely goes out to you - I know how you are feeling. The pain does pass, however. Take care.
