The price we pay

The hurt we go through when we lose a beloved pet is the price we pay for their unconditional love.  And does it ever hurt.  And it is not getting any less.  I see her everywhere.  When I am washing dishes or doing something in the kitchen, I look behind me to make sure I am not stepping on her when I turn around.  I look for her sitting on the back of the couch when I come in.  I just miss her.
