I don’t really know what to say. Sometimes I feel silly for being so devastated, but she meant so much to me. I guess I figured this is the one place where I’d find people who understand how painful it is. I spent most my workday yesterday weeping in the bathroom.
But I take some small comfort in knowing she is buried alongside her lifelong companion, Tove, who passed in November of last year.
Tuulikki loved red bell pepper, warm and breezy days on the porch, her donut pillow, Tove, and ear scratches. She hated getting her nails trimmed.
She was my friend.
She will be missed.
 
What a beautiful girl.
7 is a wonderful age, a real tribute to the love and care you gave her.
There is nothing silly about feeling devastated by her passing away, you are grieving and this is normal.
Be gentle with yourself
 
I’m so sorry you have lost your girl, she was a beauty, you must be devastated x
Sleep tight Tuulikki, go be with Tove over the bridge 🌈

Thank you. I tell myself that she was old and it was just her time, and she had such a content and comfortable life... but the other part of me is still reeling.
 
So sorry for your loss. Please don't feel silly for being devastated at the passing of a much-loved pet, it is perfectly natural, and a measure of the love that you had, and have for her. It is precisely because you feel like this now that you were given the privilege of having her in your life.

Thank you, that was really sweet. Her and Tove saw me through my very tumultuous early 20s. I’ll miss her.
 
What a lovely tribute to a dear friend. Sleep tight tight little one x

So sorry for your loss. I lost my beautiful girl, Harriet, yesterday and I can’t stop crying. They’re family, just with fur instead of skin and take up a huge place in our hearts. Big hugs to you xx

Oh I am so, so sorry to hear about Harriet. You’re in my thoughts. xo
And also, you’re right. They’re like family. I am still getting choked up over a week later. I placed a red bell pepper where we buried her.
 
What a beautiful face! Be patient with yourself, there is nothing silly about grieving your little lady. She was so loved, and still is. Thank you for giving her a long happy life!
