Rufous the Bichon Frise Speaks to His Person About Experiencing Loss

Rufous

“I’m  very fine and found my demise as unexpected as you did.  You can stop blaming yourself because one, it does no good and two, I made my own choice to go running where I didn’t belong and there were apparently consequences.  Just let it go – all is well!”

“The why’s don’t matter – what matters is what you received through the experience of my leaving…who did you meet?  What did you hear?  How did you feel?  What you would you do differently and what would you do the same?  It’s those little bitty things that are most important – the intangibles.  But don’t spend too much time on the what-if side of the fence.  Just try to feel it all and be in the middle of it and HAVE the experience of loss and all that goes with it.”

“I can’t wait to come back to you and I’m going to find the funniest looking dog body I can.  I loved being a dog, but more than anything, I loved to see you laugh at me being in my joy.  I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again.  But, we’ll do it a little different next time…you’ll see…it’ll be fun!”
