I wish I could say that empty feeling would just go away soon, but it won't. It's going to take time. It still makes me feel sick that I had to do the same with Minnie when her kidney failure was killing her, because she was the most important thing in the world to me. The sadness will probably always be there a bit, but over time the happiness my pup brought me tends to mostly dominate the sadness of losing her. I eventually moved on and got Cookie, who is the apple of my eye and brings me so much happiness. But I keep Minnie's picture there in my avatar so I can still see her every day.
