It has been only a few days since Basette was put to sleep. I left for travel that same day.
How do you prepare to walk into your home and not be greeted by a furry little friend? How do you know for the emotional shock of seeing remnants of your pet’s life — but no pet?
Friday it will hit me, and probaby quite hard. Basette was a constant companion for 14 years.
