Dear Kim and Matt, I too know the love, and loss, of a wonderful Shih Tzu. I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling. I lost my guy, Bristol, mid-June, and my heart breaks for him every day. It won't get better for awhile, but it will, in time, become more bearable. Please trust me on that... I didn't know how I would breathe again the day I lost Bristol. It sounds like Jackson was valued and loved -- and I know that still does not ease your pain. Right now, it is so raw. I also have another dog, Stella, and I felt enormous guilt whenever I would give her love, knowing that Bristol was not there to receive the same. That really broke me, because I felt like a terrible mom to her. That, too, has gotten better. She misses Bristol too. I'm not a particularly religious person, but Bristol has come to me twice in my dreams, and that has been so wonderful. I hope the same for you... from your sweet Jackson. Sending you warm thoughts and healing words... Deborah, Bristol's mom
