My Doggy Obit
Last month was rather tough for the Ehlens, we lost our
beloved furbaby, Chance. It’s honestly taken me this long to write about it,
because it was soooo emotional. I have lost a doggy before, but this was Matt’s
first and let me tell you, it hurts. It’s amazing how pets wriggle their way
(butt-wiggle, in Chance’s case) into your heart and your life. It makes the
loss like that of a human family member. Those of you who are not dog people,
or not pet people in general, look at me like I’m nuts and say, “It’s just a
dog!” I assure you, it is never “just” a dog. I have lost a lot of family in
the past year, and with Chance I can honestly say losing him was just like
losing the other, human, members in many ways. Turns out it doesn’t matter what
triggers the grief; if you love someone or something it is a loss no matter how
you spin it. And a loss must be grieved, even if it seems ridiculous to some.
Let me tell you Chance’s story; maybe it will begin to make sense.
