What lovely pictures and videos to share, it is heartbreaking knowing she is no longer there 
Massive hugsthe pain is still so raw
It's why I always have at least two. I can't cope being without a dog now. Im sorry it hurts, but it just does, it does get better, the good memories become the things that stay in the forefront of your brain. I found that sometimes I miss them more than I can imagine but mostly I remember them being themselves and smile. I imagine what they would say to me.with Doug it would be take your time it will be ok. With Moo it would be hurry up hurry up throw the ball get on with you. I don't know what Xena would say to you but I sure it would be filled with love. Hang on you're a different person than before you had her, experiencing such love changes us all for the better.We've installed a floating "memorial" shelf in our bedroom. We received Xena's ashes, paw print, and fur memorial the week before Christmas, but the plaque only arrived today. Daisy and Serenity cats are also there. Not a real indoor plant unfortunately because I am not a confident plant mother. I still have to have some photos (Xena and cats) printed out for a photo frame that I'm planning to hang above the shelf. It has been 5 weeks today since she died, and the pain is still so raw. Those of you who've had dogs all your lives, I don't know how you do it, I miss her so desperately.View attachment 35728View attachment 35729
