If I keep going “la-la-jalan” all day, I know who to blame. Japanese Bobtails are so CUTE! I love their precious faces!

Dear Mouse D’Anon – the overwhelming grief lasts a few days and when you have seen every everyday item that reminds you of your sweet animal companion, it gets better. But do express it, share it, tell us about it, that helps tremendously.

Pretty soon the gripping grief becomes sadness, and you can talk about him and only get chocked up, not cry. Then comes the time when the more fun memories come back – let them come flowing back, that is what they are there for, it is you sweet doggies’ way of comforting you.

Share them, too. You are a Peep now and we Peeps know a whole lot about this. Killer the Cardigan Welsh Corgi (whose real name is Abbey) and I wish you some restorative sleep and we want you to know that this horrible week will pass and that there are MANY people here who will be right here for you.

Try to get some rest, and if you have other animal companions, they will miss you doggie, too. Talk to us, we’re here. The various characters who populate this site have away with words, so, jump right in the deep end!

Thanks to all for the kind sentiments. I don’t know when the overwhelming grief gets better, but it does help to know that others have gone through the same thing and have eventually been able to smile and live again.

For anyone who’s wondering what this means, my friend thinks I’m insane, but has volunteered the following information:

He says, “My name is Nyaran. Today I’m going on a business trip!”, while in the background they chant, “”SHUU-CHOU,SHUU-CHOU”, which means “BIZNESS TRIP BIZNESS TRIP”!

His name card has NYARAN written on it, and that that he’s from the marketing division of the main branch of the company. At the meeting segment he says, “Business is booming!”

He is selling “Nyaran’s Meatball Buns”, and underneath the picture it’s written “Sales arrow up”.

LOL! I love Nyaran!
