You know that I lost my beloved puppy of 16 years and then a few weeks ago I lost my beautiful cat who I found as a kitten. It was a rough year. And it doesn't take a whole lot, I know, I'm so used to having them around, especially my pup since we were together much of the time and I can't help still looking for him. Even just sitting on the couch, he was always napping next to me or on the next cushion. And it's not like I've never lost a pet before, but other than the dog I grew up with, I've adopted senior dogs. Two of them lived past 18, but my Jack was still with me the longest. And initially people - having nothing else to say - would ask if I was going to get another dog. But right now I'm just missing my little guy - he was such a constant part of my life for so long. And I know that you feel the same...
