Oh Ronel, I’m so sorry about Emmett. Your post made me a little misty-eyed. As a human owned by two cats, I understand the loss of a fur baby and how special each and every one is in our heart. I hope you get back to swimming because Emmett would want you to enjoy the pool and not see it as a place of sadness. Hugs for you and thank you for participating in #CBF17.

Thanks, Mary 🙂 Being owned by fur babies is something everyone should experience.

I’m not a big swimmer, but I am a huge fan of dogs and I understand how much their love can mean. There’s a very special bond that forms between a human and his/her dog. It’s hard to describe, but you’ve done a wonderful job reminding me of its existence. I am sorry that you lost Emmett. I’m sure he’d want you ton continue swimming, properly supervised.
thanks so much for sharing this story as part of this blogfest.

Thanks, Dan 🙂 My other fur babies believe I should be under constant supervision.

I always wanted to take my guinea pigs to the beach, or maybe for an outing along a nice green riverbank. It’s not the way it works with guinea pigs, although I think one or two would have lovely a walk like that! I miss them (and they are my Cherished post this year).
Do you know about the Ralph site? It’s for all bereaved pet slaves.

Thanks, Jemima, I’ll check it out. I can totally see your guinea pigs taking a stroll next to a serene river 😉

Your dog would want you to swim, to be happy and cherish the good times.

I wish I could swim…. 😊 And perhaps a family needs at least one dog as a member.

Dogs make excellent family members — after they’ve been trained (or trained their humans).

It’s true. It’s just sad when they leave… and they leave too quickly too often… I guess compared to humans.😊 You know how some people simply avoid love because they fear losing or getting hurt? Some people don’t have pets so they don’t have to lose them. It’s daft, I know. 🤗

I totally get not having pets for fear of getting hurt — each time I have to bury a chicken in the orchard it tears me up inside. But the unconditional love pets have for their humans totally makes up for the scars of them leaving. Well, being in a good place right now I can say that. It was quite a different story in December… But that’s life 🙂

You’re right. If we were to avoid everything that might just us, we won’t be living. I’m happy to hear you’re healing. Much love and hugs.

Oh this is such a sweet homage to your beloved dog. Mine died of cancer too but she was older. She never swam in the pool or anywhere else. You won’t believe me but my part lab part retriever didn’t like water. She was scared of it. Strange but true.

Thanks, Evelyne 🙂 I’ve had dogs who viewed the swimming pool with a lot of distrust and refused to go into the water despite loving baths. I’m sorry about your dog.
