So sorry for your loss, Dennis. I've had many animals and lost a number of them. Have felt very deep loss over them, especially when I was single. Pet loss can be just as serious and deeply felt as the loss of a spouse or child IMO. When we have a deep bond with an animal it is a very special gift and they give their heart and souls to us. Many years ago, we lost a very beloved cat. He was so loving and he was 16 y.o. we had him a long time. We were with him at the end when he died, and that night I'll never forget, sitting down and trying to watch TV. Tears were silently sliding down my cheeks. My other cat climbed onto my lap and began to gently pat my tears, trying to heal the hurt in my soul. I treasure that memory. She lived to be 19 y.o. I got her when a little boy found her in a trash can where she was living with her brothers and sisters. She was only 2 weeks old with no mom to be found. I took her home and that night she slept right on my pillow - where she slept every single night for the next 19 yrs until she died. I will always feel so blessed and thankful for the animals I've had. When they pass, that is all we can do, is be grateful they were in our lives, they are a special gift. Not all humans can relate to animals the way you and I do, Dennis, that is a special gift, too. Be well, my friend and I hope you find another wonderful animal companion soon if you haven't already.
