4. My "baby" died at 17 on June 2, 2020

I'd tell Marc that you NEVER "get over it". I am still grieving and people grieve in their own way. If anyone tells you "get over it, it's been long enough, it was just a dog" tell them to go to hell since they are NOT your being a friend. They aren't even close to being what YOUR best friend gave you all his life...unconditional love. No human on the planet can even come close to a dog's love and compassion.

PS...After my first dog died she visited me for 10 days. After my dad died he visited me. After my second dog died she and my dad visited me together. It's pretty cool. She STILL visits me. In fact she came last night. I am aware when she comes and last night made me cry since she was obviously very much with me. I hope Marc's baby visits him. He needs to keep an open mind to see any "signs" since they do leave them but humans are not able to recognize them.
