And now that she's gone, it's like, what do you do? When your day isn't scheduled around feedings and pills and vet appointments, what is there? It's very similar to people who have been caring for a sick spouse or parent. All of their time has been spent on the loved one. And now that the house is empty, you don't have what others do, an escape to an outside job or book club or whatever. You feel the emptiness even more. <br />Take as much time as you need. It's like growing up. It takes the amount of time it takes and you can't do much to speed it up or slow it down.Southern Fried Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690807430103140696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040351502163439476.post-33480900741940477812012-04-27T09:38:45.438-05:002012-04-27T09:38:45.438-05:00Hi Payton's Mom -

I really miss her very much. My 'rents and I always looked forward to her posts - especially the deep thoughts ones. I loved watching her swimming, too (I still need to try that myself!). We have enjoyed the posts you've written this month and understand that you need to go through the greiving process at your own pace and in your own way. <br /><br />My 'rents and I are keeping you, Payton's dad, and Gammy & Gampy in our thoughts.<br /><br />-Love,<br />SidPug Slopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683191296542603387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040351502163439476.post-15273822950190965112012-04-27T06:51:20.820-05:002012-04-27T06:51:20.820-05:00I found it hard to read these last posts because I...I found it hard to read these last posts because I miss Payton so much, I really hope that doing this blog has been wonderful for you and that all the posts since Paytons passing over the rainbow bridge along with the comments and loving healing thoughts from us all has helped you with the grieving process.

I still get a little teary eyed when I think back on my first dog, Shillelaugh. She died an old dog and even then it was too soon.

And because we are pug people, we get it. I can so tangibly imagine the gaping hole that will be left when I lose my girl one day. The tiny routine parts of my day that I don't even realize are about her. Every thing I do, errands I run, plans I make... her well-being is at the center of the decisions I make. And I get that for you. That void.<br /><br />Praying that today is a good one. That there are snippets of fond memories that peek through your grief today.<br /><br />xoxo<br />KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971360626495723817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040351502163439476.post-9103063228997231312012-04-26T09:05:25.450-05:002012-04-26T09:05:25.450-05:00Wonderful tribute to your Payton.

I know I've grieved for times that others thought unhealthy, but what could I do, my heart was shattered. I'm not sure the grieving ever goes away 100%, it just stops being so wrenching. With vivid memory, I can remember the exact moment when I was ready to move on, and it was a neighbor's pug who delivered the message. After six months of horrific grief, I saw a little pug barking at me from behind a gate and instantly knew I was ready for another dog. It was so clear. Shortly thereafter we adopted Babe. This is silly, but after losing Rooney, I wasn't sure if I could love another dog like I loved him - it's truly amazing what an endless supply of love we have to give. :)Tamara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495865541623274987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040351502163439476.post-44012817036327860202012-04-26T08:52:56.553-05:002012-04-26T08:52:56.553-05:00I had the same feelings when I lost Nicki.

You deserve to mourn and grieve at your own pace and no one should judge. Those that have not yet lost someone can not possibly understand that chest crushing, heart ripping feeling. Grief also changes as we age and realize that nothing is immortal. I have no doubt that Payton is tearing up Heaven with her fiesty little personality and will be waiting for belly scratches and snuggles from you and Tim. Mourn my friend, but know it is okay to live too....<br /><br />ps - can't open video - content problemPunchbugpughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647324729827438256noreply@blogger.com
