sad: I couldn't believe it when my dog died a few weeks ago. I honestly thought I was going to stay lonely forever. When my girlfriend asked me if I wanted to go look at dogs to cheer me up, I said no.

In some ways, losing a pet dog is even worse than losing a relative. They're so innocent, they're so helpless. They don't deserve to have to die or suffer ever.

Goodness, you're right about that. Plus a pet is the only thing to show unconditional and neverending love for you.

Exactly, and they never demand anything from you. When my golden retriever Louie died a few weeks ago, I honestly thought I would die too.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, I can only imagine that pain. I had to put my girl down 3 years ago and I promise that it does get easier.

Thank you, that's good to hear. I find it pretty difficult to continue on most days...but I suppose it's starting to get easier.
