You are correct, Joy. It is a sobering thought. Over our 42 years of marriage my husband and I have had many dogs, a cat, parakeets, and a horse that dies in our arms. Our last little fellow, a Jack Russel, lived to 18 years of age with lots of health issues at the end of his life. At that point, my husband and I decided that we would have no more animals and that we would travel more in our retirement.
Well, you guessed it. Three months after our JRT passed on we brought our beautiful little Yorkie home. Remi is our first Yorkie. Each and everyone of our pets have helped in the healing. Remi brings us such joy! We do travel now, but we have our Remi with us on great car trip vacations. |
