Pets play a major and significant role in our lives.
Many studies have indicated that having a pet in the home is particularly good for elderly people that live alone. They become a part of our family. Our Bassett Hound, named of course, Sigmund (but we called him Siggie,) died June 15th. He was 13 years old. Needless to say, our whole family, especially our daughter that raised him, miss him and have gone through a true grieving process over his loss. Some people don’t think that their grief over a pet is appropriate, and/or embarrassing. The truth of the matter is that grief helps us heal after losing a beloved pet, and we should all allow that process to happen. Most of us will outlive our pets, so losing them at some point in time is usually inevitable.
Dr. Jones has always been amazed at how many pet owners do not think they should be devastated over the loss of a pet. It is perfectly normal to grieve and to miss them, just like any family member that is lost! He always assures them that it is okay and normal to be upset over their loss!
I am attaching our tribute video to Siggie. I hope you enjoy it! RIP Siggie, we love you!
