This is Oscar!
He is my 12 year old Dalmation
And he is the love of my life......
Before the day is over, Oscar will be dead!
Last night while I was sitting on his bed gently petting his head, I was overwhelmed with sadness.
He will never walk under my desk in the middle of a live event.
He will never wake me up with a smile and desperate need for immediate love.
He will never greet me at the door and be as happy to see me come back if I was gone for a week or 5 minutes.
I had to recenter myself and stay in the moment.
Why feel the sadness AHEAD of time.
He was there, alive, warm and cozy and enjoying his moment. Why couldn't I do the same. There will be time for sadness, of course. And I will need it, take it. But for now, in this moment, he is there with you, living IN THE MOMENT.
There are great lessons in watching our pets live.
Here and now is all you have.
You can love and let go simultaneously.
Saying goodbye is hard, but necessary.
I will live this sadness and love him forever.
I will also move on.....
