REBA

[Moobli]

Reba was such a gorgeous girl. Your tribute to her (and especially with reference to the relationship she shared with your wife) is beautiful and poignant. She was clearly a very special girl. RIP Reba.

What a lovely Tribute and what a wonderful "bond "Reba shared with your Wife, Janet, so very sorry to hear the sad news about this very loved and most beautiful girl xxx

Everyone here on the forum has been so kind with their comments on Reba. As you are all aware, when you've lost one of your little sweethearts there are so many landmines waiting to get you in the following weeks. And months if I'm honest. Janet has gone through the, " this time last week " phase, the trauma of collecting her girl's ashes and various other things which have caused copious amounts of tears. The last one was a couple of days ago when she was looking for some photos taken during something at school and looked on her camera. Up popped two pics of her girl taken about a month ago and obviously forgotten about. It was a combination of joy at finding new images of her little girl and the pain it brought with it. I had a surreal conversation with someone at one of the places that I visit through work the other day. We had just collected Reba's ashes and I was on something of a downer when this guy asked what was up. I explained briefly that we'd lost Reba and what we'd just done. He then proceeded to tell me that, " It was just an animal " and " Not as though it had soul ". Well my girl had a soul, any living thing that could give as much love as Reba did, and inspire such reciprocal affection has to have. I walked away, glad that I didn't hit him but more glad that Janet didn't have to hear such nonsense. Here are the last pics of our girl

I don't like heartless morons like that. He's the one that has no soul.

Ian + Janet, I'm so sorry for your loss. Reba was clearly a special dog and for those who say 'its only an animal'... they'll never experience the bond you and Janet had, nor are they worthy of it. For me dogs are like wonderful members of our family that we choose to live with.

Take care of each other xx
