Before I got Gracie I lost my dear old pal at age 15. I was heartbroken. I was never going to have another dog. Then I discovered that I did not want to live without a dog in my life. Now Gracie is 2 and I look at her and think, "she is going to get old and I will lose her too." It is morbid and I try not to think about it. It is really difficult dealing with the fact that they have such short lifespans. |
