Life without Holly [View all]

When I got home, I took the carrier out of the car and it was so light without her in it.

I was going to run some errands, but I couldn't get off the couch.

I dozed off sitting up and when I woke up, Martini was in my lap. Earlier, she licked my nose and put her paw on my chin. I don’t know if she realizes Holly is gone but I do think she knows I'm sad.

When I woke up from my nap, Martini followed me upstairs so I could give her her medicine. Holly was not waiting for us outside the door as she always was.

We went downstairs so Martini could get her treats, but Holly was not there for hers.

I'm back sitting on the couch and Holly is not lying on the arm next to me.

Life without Holly is unbearable. I thought I had cried myself out. I was wrong.
