We do so understand how you are feeling. I am certainly sorry about poor Sam. I buried my little man right after Thanksgiving...not even 2 yet. I still see him in my mind's eye where I laid him and try not to think of him too often yet...I feel guilty that I don't let myself grieve him..here come some tears now. My S18's pit bull terrier was stolen a couple of weeks ago. I have cried for her...my son and his friend are convinced they will find her. I keep a little of that hope for my son. She is the sweetest, most loving dog. You could see all the love on her face that she had for you.
You are certainly not whining. H won't let himself feel right now. It would open the floodgates I'm afraid, and he's thinks he wouldn't be able to stop it.
Love to you, S and Sam. Sometimes it is harder to see them suffer. You did the right thing and will continue to do so.
