Just seen this. Thinking of you, woodbush. What a beautiful dog Zinda was. Really stunning. This is one of the hardest things any of us have to do in life, no matter how much we think we are as prepared for it as we can ever be, it is still very, very tough.
So be kind to yourself, over the coming days and weeks. It will hit you in waves but slowly that point comes when you can remember more with a smile, than tears.
