Boot,
They truely become our family. But quickly, go to the shelter and rescue a new firend. That's the best way to get over the loss, Bootle and Tom.. find a new companion.
I lost my little buddy in 98, and kept saying "that's it!! I'll not have my heart ripped away with such an empty loss again... then my wife brought home this little runt of a thing. Did not ASK me, did not warn me, and I swore that was "the stupidest animal I ever saw". And because it came from a very abvusive owner, with equallly sadistic kids, it hid from me. After a month or so, she began to trust me more and more And that sense of loss was then gone -- we became inseprable, and I found out how extremely bright she is. Her "stupidity" was a form of protection from when she was lured-out with a treat -- just soshe could be beaten. . I know they are only with us for a short time, but it seams as if their spirit just goes into the next one. I'm serious about that. We now have two (min pins), and they are our kids.
We are under no illusions tho. God only lets them stay a very short time. But he also gave them an "earthly soul" for lack of a better definition, that seams to reincarnate, unlike the soul he gave us.
