Anyone who has allowed a pet to become a part of their life understands that a pet is a member of your family. When you lose that pet Duncan Keith Olympics Jersey , whether unexpectedly or from old age, it does not change the fact that a hole has been left in your life. You still need to take the time to grieve your loss until someday, you feel able to celebrate your pet's life.


Unfortunately Dan Hamhuis Olympics Jersey , many people do not understand your grief, and their lack of understanding may cause them to inadvertently hurt you further. They may do this by acting as though the pet never existed and your grief is not real, or by making the suggestion that it was just a dog Drew Doughty Olympics Jersey , cat, ferret, or whatever and can be replaced.


If you've ever loved a pet Jonathan Toews Olympics Jersey , you know that they cannot "just be replaced", much like a person cannot be replaced. I'd like to offer some suggestions that may help you in your grieving process:


?Do not try to rush yourself through the grief process. Telling yourself that it was just a pet and you shouldn't feel this way just invalidates your feelings and makes you feel worse. Accept your grief and understand that only time will heal you.


?If you are not comfortable doing so, do not rush to get rid of everything that may remind you of your pet. Sometimes removing everything that reminds us of the pet that has shared our life for years just makes the emptiness seem larger.


?Seek out others who understand how you feel. Many people understand what you are feeling Jay Bouwmeester Olympics Jersey , and an ear and a box of tissues will make you feel better.


?Make a picture collage to celebrate your pet's life. You can include pictures from every stage of your pet's life as a reminder of the good times you've shared with your pet.


?Light a candle to your pet. On our resources page, there is a link to a website where you can light a "virtual candle" for free. You may find comfort by doing this.


?Buy a picture pet urn or memory box. If you cremate your pet, you can store the ashes in it. If you do not cremate your pet Mike Smith Olympics Jersey , or if you scatter the ashes, you can store a favorite ball or leash inside to create a memorial to your pet. It doesn't have to be expensive to be attractive.


?When you are ready to bring another pet into your life, it may be better to get a different breed. The new pet will never replace the one that you lost. It will have its own unique personality and you will enjoy the bonding process more if you are not comparing it to your previous pet.

For what seems like eons on US roads, highways and race tracks Chevrolet Camaros, Pontiac Firebirds have rivaled and sometimes even beaten Ford's Mustang as America's most popular sports coupes.

How do you define a sports car after all? Is it the distillation of everything that a brilliant engineer has learned after years in "the business"? Or maybe a mildly softened version of a competition car? In truth however a sports car is more likely to be a pretty body grafted onto an ordinary saloon.

If that strategy was good enough for British MG Roberto Luongo Olympics Jersey , surely it was good enough for General Motors G.M... And true to form, General Motors followed that form perfectly well with their Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. But was it justified for automobiles like the Camaro and Firebird to be called "sports cars". Well it depends on your viewpoint, what cars you drive and perhaps what auto books and racing magazines you read.

Does a sports car half the time being fixed? Does it have to leak when it rains? Does a fifty-mile trip have to mean a bout of kidney dialysis for driver and passengers alike and does the presence of more than two seats or a steel top disqualify it ?

Then how about trend setting styling? How about competition success in every major venue available for production-based cars? How about the accolades for best handling in North America ; conferred by most respected automobile publications on the North American continent and NAFTA areas ?

It seems clear that however mundane the genesis of the Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird Canada Olympics Jerseys , the end results merit the label no doubt what so ever.

The Camaro and Firebird - collectively known as the "F-car" (or cars) - in General Motors's alphabet soup nomenclature designations - are usually thought of and categorized of as G.M.'s response to the resounding success of Ford's Mustangs in 1964.
The realities of lead time in the car business mean however that in purist's terms this is not strictly or entirely true. Its true and substantiated fact that G.M.'s stylists had been working on small sports cars almost continually during the last 1950's and early 1960's.

In fact G.M. had almost started the U.S. trend towards affordable sporting machinery by dropping bucket seats and a floor-mounted four-speed into their rear-engined Corvair. The resulting Monza Coupe and roadster could be said to be among the only bright spots in the Corvair's somewhat tainted history. Winnipeg based auto consultant Billy Simpson notes that while the Corvair overall was a good car - it was North American US and Canadian drivers who might of well be assigned most of the blame since they did not know how to drive these rear engined vehicles ( at a time when almost U.S. made cars were front engine, rear wheel drive with a drive shaft.) Worse yet in panic and emergency situations they reverted to earlier driver training learned on standard configuration front engine , rear wheel drive driving habits. Yet it was Ford who recognized the vast potential of the youth market of the 1960's. Ford responded with the Mustang product in 1964.
