We've had a difficult week since Linus' passing on Easter. We've been down this road before and know so many of you have recently, too. We've tried to stay as busy as possible and to help our pets adjust to the loss of our senior pet, one who has been here since each of our dogs and cats stepped into our home.
Our youngest cat Lucky has taken the loss the hardest; he's been crying and been very clingy (which isn't at all like him). When we prepared Linus' grave on Monday and had his body wrapped in one of Linus' favorite chenille blankets, Lucky got on Linus' body and didn't move all morning–all while both were watched over by Tiki.
In the days since, we've seen Tiki staying close to Lucky–and I think Lucky even tried to get Tiki to partake in one of his favorite track ball games. Tiki didn't play but she did lie beside it with Lucky…hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
We've stayed busy with extra playtime with the cats and extra walks with the dogs and slowly life is evolving into the new order here. One thing that remains the same this week is our weekly roundup of pet-themed giveaways. Fido + Fluffy's Freebie Friday, which we co-host with To Dog With Love and CatTipper, offers a rundown of the many pet-themed giveaways underway right now across the web.
And, if you're a blogger with a pet-related giveaway, be sure to link up! Please link directly to your giveaway, not to your home page. (Please don't link to non-giveaway posts.) We post a new blog hop every Thursday afternoon at 4pm ET.
