This is the hardest time a doglover has to go through in their lives - right up there with having a sick child, divorce, loss of a job, death of a family member, moving to a new culture, going through bankruptcy. Allow yourself to grieve and experience the pain all you need to now but know that in time, the awful pain does get better and once you are feeling hope again, think about this - your precious Gino wouldn't want you to continue to live so unhappy, lonely and lost. In time, maybe you can love like that again and help yourself heal by giving a loving home to another little dog.
