I still see

*I still deal with my loving dog's death. I still see her next to me I still cannot kook at her photo Deliberately burned toxins, killed her My life has moved on without her It doesn't feel the same at all I miss our walks and her happiness I am haunted by her cough and suffering How anyone can spread deadly toxins, that kill pets and people makes no sense Such lack of conscience these people have! She was an innocent, loving, special dog An unbearable loss, always in my heart They never met her, they didn't know her Bella pranced like every day is special They just took chemicals and burned them Now, lives are changed, lives are gone My Bella would tell you, forever smart and vocal!

Thank you so much Kim. She was like a service dog , by my side for over 10 years. She was healthy. I cannot get over what I watched happen to her from the first day her and I got sick from toxic snow. I appreciate your kindness . Blessings :)

I feel your pain Heidi, having said goodbye to Ozzie and Harry. I often think of them and you never forget them. I hope someone is brought to account for this tragedy, someone is responsible for it. Hope you're doing okay. Tom

Hi Tom . I am sorry for your losses too. It is very hard. The Dept of Defense here authorized the large burn of all those chemicals when it did not have to be done. Thank you :)

So sad that your pet died from the toxins, it affected so many states, its effects will last for years

It is a horrible widespread tragedy. It could have been avoided if they didn't do the burn of chemicals from the train. Thank you Joseph :)
