Well, the news that I'd been longing for (and fearing) was finally thrust upon me today when I got home: my dog of 14 years, Soshi, has finally ceased to live.
The reason I was relieved initially when I heard this is that she has ceased to "live" for the last couple of weeks. She really hasn't been well for the past couple of weeks and I'm glad that she no longer has to suffer. It really hasn't hit me that she's gone yet, but when I buried her today a little earlier, I started to realize that she really is gone and I'll never have her greet when I walk in the door anymore.
Pets just can make me happy like no other thing (object or person). I know they will love me and I trust them more than I will ever trust another human being. I will miss you deeply, Soshi!

I'm really sorry for your loss, Tim.
You're right, it is better now that she's not suffering. She lived an extraordinary long life, and I think she enjoyed it. so you can't ask for more.
Funny - I don't know why, but I decided to click on your blog page for some reason...weird...
