    One thing that helped me when our dog passed (in a similar way, on his own terms), was that he only knew love since he joined our family and he didn’t know his life was cut short. He just knew love. People want to get rid of grief because they see it as hanging on to loss, but really it is about holding tight to love - which is why we always feel it. Run free, Pukashell. ❤️🌈

    I have found grieving for a beloved pet is so consuming because their love is so pure and doesn't come with the complications that human relationships have that make grieving so difficult. But it's also what makes our relationship with them so important. Wishing you love and support at this time. ❤

      Also while sometimes you have a relative living with you pass away, statistically more often than not it’s someone that you don’t see every day or live with. Meanwhile a pet is always supposed to be there. You walk in to your house, they come to greet you, you can no longer smell or hear them, they have toys that aren’t getting played with anymore, your chores that revolves around them are no longer needed. It is like if you were a caretaker for someone and that person has passed away. Just as strong and devastating.

      I lost my furbaby after having her 16.5 years as bad as it sounds that’s the toughest loss I’ve ever experienced and I’ve lost a lot of people. She passed 2 years ago and I just recently got a new puppy. It’s so tough. I’m sure our love will grow but right now it’s still so hard and that bond isn’t fully there. I know if Darby would’ve been my first furbaby I’d love him so so much already, but Punkin was my first, my best friend, and he’s nowhere near her. I’ve been unable to work since 2010 so she was with me everyday, all day. She really lit up the room, and all our family loved her so deeply. 🌈🌉💔🐶❤️

    Every minute of 12 years were spent with my little 2.6 pound yorkie, Teaka. I was shocked when she died suddenly and unexpectantly exactly 48 hours before my husband also died unexpectantly. The grief was unbearable. I went through a very dark time, but after a year, God brought me out of it with his comfort. God bless you Tati and James.

      My furbaby that passed is in my photo. I told my husband if you hear me crying I’m watching UA-cam and I’m watching Tati who lost her furbaby Puka and I’ve been watching her for 10 years. He handed me a tissue and rolled over to go to sleep.
      We got her right after highschool, moved in together while in highschool and she passed at 16.5 years me and my husband both was so afraid our relationship was gonna change because we loved her so much and our world revolved around her. I imagine it’s how a couple becomes when a child graduates and moves off.

    I'm a vet tech so i deal with animal loss daily - but it still threw me for a loop how hard I was hit with the loss of my own dog. They are truly the one thing in the world that loves unconditionally. A lot of times they're the one constant in a life that is unpredictable. There is nothing you could do that your pet will turn their back on you. And he trusted you both enough to choose to spend his last moments in your arms. That's so beautiful!
    I think when a pet connects to someone who has passed that makes them even more special to us - Puka's connection to James's mom made him almost an extension of her.
    I'm so glad you got to experience Puka and Puka got to experience you two. He knew nothing but love in his life. Thinking of both of you

    The loss of a pet is such a unique loss. All they want from us is love and time. They are judgment free, and they give us the purest love of all. When they leave us, it is a grief that just can't be explained unless you have been a Kahu (Hawaiian for your pet's guardian, protector. Never an owner). I am so sorry for the loss of Pukashell and sending much love to you and James. Take care of each other and hold those beautiful memories close.🤍

    I love the quote you shared about having a close relationship with sadness. With depression you feel hopeless, like nothing you do will help and there's no point. I know because I've suffered with it for so long, and am currently in a period of strength and recovery. I do also know that depression is not always permanent, it is a different experience for everyone and can come and go many times. From what you share, it seems like you intentionally try to be hopeful, even when things are going wrong and that IS inspiring! I know people always say that, it can almost feel cliche sometimes, but it really truly is inspiring.

Buddy is buried under an apple tree in our back garden because he loved sniffing around among the trees and would sometimes eat the windfalls. We both regularly spend time with him there and it helps but there's a huge void in our lives now. To you and James I would say it does get easier with time just as it does when you lose a person. Take the time to grieve and keep telling each other the funny stories about Puka. We have found that smiling and crying together has helped us. My thoughts are with you both.

    So sorry for your loss. Your story of Puka had me in tears. I cried a river when I put my cat to sleep. Pets are the best! They comfort us in our times of sadness & I do think they know what emotions we are feeling. Puka was loved very much by you & James.

    Losing a pet is much harder than some people realize. I lost my dog Sparkles the day after Thanksgiving in 2022. I was crushed when I saw a picture of my dog not alive in her bed. The days leading up to it were rough because she basically shut down and was not going to live much longer. I knew in high school that she was going to not be alive by the time I graduated college. When it actually happened it was my very first loss in my immediate family. I'm sending my prayers and love to you through this because it reminded me of how my dog's passing really changed me and still makes me cry every now and again. It will get better and know Puka is always with you.

    I knew I had to watch this but I also knew how much it would hurt. He was one of my favorite things about your stories and videos. I also lost my best friend of 23 years a few months ago and your life is never the same. They give us so much every single day! All the love and hope and happiness they bring in their little paws. I am sending you love, and thank you for sharing him with us.

    Not long before I unexpectedly lost my beloved dog I had read the book “signs” by Laura Lynn Jackson and she had a whole part dedicated to pets. I’m so grateful I had read it, because I was instantly able to see the signs he was sending and it was so helpful during the grieving process. They truly don’t leave us, they are just in a different form ❤
    So sorry for your loss.

    I hope you read this: My deceased parent’s dog passed away last summer. I took her to live with me when my mom passed. My parents passed in the same year. Sophie saved me. She was the last piece left I had of them. My heart broke all over again when Sophie passed away. I did get some relief knowing she was back with her Mommy and Daddy in heaven. Dogs aren’t just dogs, they are apart of the family. I will love you forever Sophia ❤ Sending lots of love and hugs ❤Kim

    I lost my 2 greyhounds over the last 2 years and I just remember they were given the best lives and the absolute most love in our home. The pain doesn’t fully go away but it is a reminder that they lived their lives to the absolute fullest and completed all that they had to on our earth. Losing a pet hits in just a different way. I wish you love and light in this time.

    I lost my chihuahua, Ozzy in 2018 so I understand. It’s hard to see that little spot where they used to sleep empty after they’re gone. One thing I can say is that these kind of wounds don’t ever fully heal, but you learn to move through the pain. What you’re doing is good because you’re already remembering him for the good times you had with him, and if he could speak, I’m sure he would want that. Sending you both all the prayers in the world. Xoxo. 🦋🐶🦋

    Thank you for sharing Puka with us over the years! I have enjoyed the videos of him and learning about his personality! I'm so sorry for your loss. My in-laws dog, and my cat got me through the loss of my husband. A little over a year later a couple months apart, they had to be put to sleep because they had different cancers. That was so, so hard! Sending all the love and hugs your way.
    That quote you shared, "You're not depressed. You have an intimate relationship with sadness."
    I felt that.
    I have lost so many people and beloved pets in my life, and I'm not depressed. However I do feel sad and still deal with waves a grief to different degrees, and that phrase fits so well. Thank you for sharing, Tati! 💜
