I was talking to my dad and said, I wish I could never have to hurt like this again. and he said, son you'd never in a million years trade all the love that dog gave you over the years to get rid of the pain you have now.

Yeah. It's really tough, and it always sucks. But I've never even considered never having another pet when I've had to put one down.
I still get misty at having to put Rosebud down a few months ago. She was my personal first pet. All the others I've had were pets of the family, but I got Rosie when I was living with a roommate in college (he'd gone back home for summer), and we had three months that were just us. She was only 6 weeks old when I got her, and in three month's time there was a pretty strong bond there. She liked my roommate, but it was pretty obvious to anyone that she was my cat. And I had her for four years before my wife and I married, so there were lots of times it was just Rosie and me.
