He then gets up and slowly walks away to be alone again. \u00a0I try to follow him, call his name, dangle string in front of him to play, but he just looks at me with eyes glassed over as though he is trying to just focus on his memories. \u00a0But recently when Mogwai looks upset Tessi has started to walk over to him to try to cheer him up&#8230;it&#8217;s so adorable, she licks him (with her huge tongue) in his ear, then he looks grossed out, but he still sits still and let&#8217;s her&#8230;I think he likes her attention, even though it is very slobbery. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s has been heartbreaking at times to see these wonderful, kind and furry members of our family grieve, but just like with all of us I know it is a process that can not be avoided. \u00a0I think it just makes all of us, humans and animals alike, treasure the moments we have together and appreciate even the smallest things in life like chasing a ball in the park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years I&#8217;ve come to appreciate how animals enter our lives prepared to teach and far from being burdened by an inability to speak they have many different ways to communicate. It is up to us to listen more than hear, to look into more than past.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2015\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/893708.Nick_Trout\">Nick Trout<\/a>,\u00a0<i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/work\/quotes\/7390778\">Love Is the Best Medicine: What Two Dogs Taught One Veterinarian about Hope, Humility, and Everyday Miracles<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0After 3 years Tessi still grieves for Morgan. \u00a0Not every day, but there are times you can see the sadness in her eyes when someone mentions Morgan&#8217;s name. \u00a0If you have ever wondered if dogs hurt when they loose someone &hellip;
