188. I lost mine to sudden and unexpected illness
Mon Sep 30, 2013, 10:53 PM
Sep 2013

two years ago come next January, and despite the fact that I have a wonderful new canine friend, I'm STILL not over it.

I'm so sad for you. Hang in there. The pain will be less sharp over time, and hopefully you might be able to share your love and your home with a new canine companion.

Best wishes.
