Millions of people worldwide have owned a pet, currently own a pet, or will own a pet, and the kind of animal makes no difference. Pets bring us comfort in many ways, along with health benefits. But what happens when a pet is abandoned, abused, dumped, starved, or tied to a tree because the owner didn't want them, couldn't care for them, or even take them when they moved. It's infuriating and makes us wonder "why" or "how could they do this" to a pet. For these twenty beautiful animals in this book of love and loss, they found their forever homes where they would be safe, loved, fed, cuddled, and held onto for as long as possible. These pet owners were open and willing to share their pets' lives from the first day to the last day until they would cross the Rainbow Bridge. A few of these pets are some dogs named Mick and Hershey, a hamster named Ripple, a Nigerian goat name JefeÌ, a rooster named Chaddy Noody, and this author's cat Delilah for whom the book is named, plus many more pets with their photos and lessons learned. For those of you who have had the privilege of having a pet in your life that you loved unconditionally and then watched pass away, this author expresses her sincere condolences to you. Just as it is with "parenthood," so it is with "pethood." They may no longer be with you, but we all know they will never be forgotten, and you are not alone. These stories provide humor, silly things our pets do, sadness, and some ways to help process grief one baby step at a time. If you are feeling lost and alone because of your pet's passing, Pick Up Your Copy and let these stories shine a little light in the darkness. If you are open and willing to share your pet's story, you'll find the author's email address on the back cover of her book. 650 0 $a Pet owners $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Pets $x Psychological aspects. $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Grief. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships. 650 0 $a Pet loss. 650 1 $a Pets $x Psychological aspects. $x Psychological aspects. 650 7 $a Grief. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00947883 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963482 650 7 $a Pet owners $x Psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01059171 650 7 $a Pets $x Psychological aspects. $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01059914 650 7 $a Pet loss. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01059164 650 7 $a Pets $x Psychological aspects. $x Psychological aspects. $2 sears 650 7 $a Bereavement $x Psychological aspects. $2 sears 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships. $2 sears 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20221228010444.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58C2FB46867D11EDB389758C44ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
