Minister of Fire
I'm sorry for your loss. We let them into our lives and hearts knowing they will only be with us for a brief time and they love us unconditionally for it.
We've adopted and lost cats and dogs to age or illness over the years. Our last dog was 16 when we had to put her down, and we got her the first day we closed on our Old House. DH took it hard, he wasn't really ready to get another pet after our last cat passed (I wouldn't adopt another cat or dog while we had her because she only had 3 legs and I was afraid they would fight). I found our current dog as a free dog on CL, and I was the only one that emailed them telling about us, our pets, why we were looking rather than just do you still have the free dog. Took some work but DH has a new buddy, even if we still miss our pets that have passed...
