Oliver was the gentlest little man who ever put paws on the earth, and his loving face and sweet nature are so terribly missed by his grieving mama.

When I heard the distressing news about your lovely, little Oliver, I was so saddened – I cried. There are literally no words for me to make you feel any better during the grieving process. I try and try to think of something meaningful to say, but just can’t. As a friend, I can be sympathetic, but no one feels the pain like you – a grieving “mama”. It’s a lonely, almost paralyzing experience. I know what it is like to lose an animal companion, though, who is considered so much a “part of the family,” who is integrated into every aspect of our lives. When my dear Speedy’s heart stopped in those final moments, a part of mine did, too. He taught me how to love unconditionally, and because of him, I truly, truly believe I am a better friend, parent, and person. But I can say this: I have added Oliver to my daily prayers, along with all the other dear animal companions whom I know also passed. I visualize him with Osgood, with Speedy, with all of your little babies who have made the journey from this life to the next. The image is so beautiful and real I tear up, yet I find myself smiling, and for that instant, the void, pain and emptiness fade away. I think to myself, “I’ll be with them one day.” And I will. And of course, Patt, I pray you are feeling some healing in your heart about little Oliver, too. I am so proud of you as a “mama.” Your love and kindness towards him and your other babies in your family show what a wonderful person you really are. Love you dearly… Your li’l sis, Alison
