I miss my dog

Only marked NSFW in case anyone didn’t want to read any sad content. I miss my dog. I lost him in early August. He was about fifteen years old, my first dog, my baby. I got him when I was still in high school and now I’m thirty. Many people grew older and had kids, but I had my lil baby boy, Coby. In our childhood home, Coby grew up with my niece and my nephew, they’re both 10+ now, and I feel at such a loss. He was like my child, I loved him so much. I knew he wouldn’t live forever but I tried not to think about life after his passing. He was an integral part of our family, the kids and my siblings loved him, he was special. Very gentle with children and elderly, but disliked the people he could tell were no good. Well it’s been over six months since he has been gone and it just feel like there’s a hole in my heart, I’m gutted. I have therapy every month and of course I talk about these feelings and everyday life. But coming home after a long day of work and not seeing that little face looking up at me has been extremely difficult. Some days even seeing a dog outside or on tv will make me cry. I just wanted to post my ode to Coby, to let everyone know what a good boy he was. It gets easier, but the feeling of loss is never ending unfortunately.
