I'm so sad for my next door neighbors...

[usedtobebear]

I just have to share my sadness. I'm so sad for my neigbors, their dog had a seizure out of the blue and suddenly died, right before their eyes. There was nothing they could do to save him. I have woken up to this dog 'talking' every morning for years, he had the cutest howl and would really just talk to everyone that came over, not barking, howling. It feel so quiet now that he's gone and my dogs are on hiatus with stbx. I feel so terrible for them!

For my own sadness I planted 150 tulips last weekend thinking when they bloom in spring I hope to be in a happier state of mind. So, on my lunch break I went and bought them a card and a bag of 75 red tulips and a 6 pack of pumpking beer. I wrote in the card that I hope their hearts are less heavy in the spring when they bloom and to drink the beer while they are planting. I hate it when animals die, I've lost two pet birds but I can't even imagine the day my dogs pass away.

One nice thing about going through my divorce is I feel like I can be a better neighbor, my stbx was always so private and didn't make an effort to make friends with our neighbors.

Thanks for listening :beer:

That's so sad and I feel the same way about pets! That's a totally awesome thing for you to do though!

Reading about your neighbors made me sad, but you did a really nice thing. I know if I were them I would be very touched and grateful.
