I'm so sorry my question brought back so many painful memories. I know exactly how you feel about risking the pain again. We didn't get a dog for a couple of years because our last experience just was so painful. I think it's especially hard when you are fighting a disease and it’s a losing battle. Then, the grief the surviving pet feels is also so painful. Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that I would rather suffer the pain of losing Joey rather than have Joey lose me. I can’t bear that thought, I mean he has a good daddy, but he’s use to me here all day. |
