It's hard to believe that only three short months ago, Chops was still with us. The other day Ben started crying. When I asked him why, he told me he missed Chops and wished she would come back. He wanted to play chase with her and tell her about our new house. I explained to Ben that Chops was in heaven, but he wasn't buying it. I told him we could look at pictures of her if that would make him feel better. He said it wouldn't because the pictures were "pretend" and he wanted Chops to be "real". Yesterday he mentioned her again. He told me he wanted to take her to the beach because he thought she would think it was fun. I know eventually he'll be okay with the departure of his furry friend, but for now it's hearbreaking.
