I can't even bear the thought of Max and Sasha getting old. It seems like just yesterday that they were little 1 pound bundles of fur licking my face. Sasha just turned 5 and Max will turn 6 this year. While that is not old, I do realize that they do not live for 20 years and my stomach just aches whenever I think of life without them in it.
I agree with you 100% in that this board has been a blessing. Being able to share with people who truly understand just how I feel about my babies is very therapeutic.
