      I’m surprised I’ve made it this far. The only reason I have is because of my dogs. I guess I’ll just keep getting them to keep me here. As one approaches old age, I’ll get another. Assuming the loss of the old one doesn’t do it.

        Yeah, lost my little four legged soul mate last year. I wish I’d just done it the night I let her go.

          I am so sorry. I’ve got two right now. One will be 15 in December and the other just turned three. The overlap is on purpose. In hopes that I’ll be too attached to the puppy to do it when I let my old boy go. I do want to heal from the trauma, but most times, it doesn’t seem possible.
