The only comforting thing I've found about losing a pet, personally, is that it is a transition from "keeping a promise" (when you first bring them home) to "promise kept". I know this idea has comforted more than a few people, and it is the only way I found to deal with some of the losses I've had. There's some satisfaction or general sense of "I done good" about "promise kept". May those of you needing comfort find some in those words.

my girlgirl left us this morning peacefully. i gave her her last bath last night and fed her her last meal. she had her last walk around the house and her last view of her dearest companion boyboy. the time she had with us wasnt long but the happiness she gave us were abundant. from the first day i saw her at the pet shop, dearie, cal, dan gor and me fell in love with her. she's a beauty she's a sweet. i wil always remember her lazy eyes and her lazy legs. she's gentle as silk and she's never playful. her fur were white as snow with short ears and a tiny greyish tail which makes her very adorable.
she always dirty the fur around her mouth when she nibble on her carrot. it makes us headache at first. i always ask "aiyo.. when wil you grow up and learn to clean urself??" now i noe.. the answer is "never". she's a dear.. she's so lovely that you'll wish to take care of her forever. boyboy takes care of her too.. but at times, her bullies her esp when it comes to carrot. oh well.. boy doesnt grieve as much as dearie and me do. maybe it's a gd thing that boy is stil young at least not much of a heartbreak to him.
i was terribly sadden by the news of girl's departure. in class, i couldnt concentrate. al i think of is her and the beautiful short days we had. the day to sembawang for crabby. the next day i bathe her and boy and let them run ard the house. the day i saw her fur filthy with her pee and bathe her immediately. the day boy and her snatched carrot with each other. i miss girl so much =( well i guess times' up for her.. may she be in peace and remembered by all that knew her..
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand on my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
*take care girl..
i love you. daddy too..
