The hard thing about loving our animals is we outlive them, if we're lucky. I've lost several pets over the past 20 years and it's always the worst. And you never totally get over it. But you have to remember the trade: You give them security, love, joy and care; and in return they give unconditional love. My life had been made better in every way by having them around, despite the pain when it's time to say goodbye. I hope you give another deserving animal a home, as there's so many who need someone to care for them. Hang in there.
