I still grieve for all my late pets and more so for Tammy as she was taken so suddenly and unexpectedely.I miss them all so much and its not easy to talk to people about it they think your mad, oh its only a dog I use to get, only another animal lover knows how it feels.Most of my pets lived to a good age so when they passed that was the normal way of things but was still very hard to deal with.When Tammy died I was ill, bordering on a breakdown I couldnt eat, sleep, work,or function normally my oh was worried and after two weeks like that I went out and got Blossom to help me get back on track and it worked for me It wouldnt be for everyone as you cant replace one with the other and I didnt want to do that I just wanted some normality back in my life and its all worked out fine I adore Blossom but know shes not Tammy and I love her for her little self.Losing a pet can leave such a gap in your life theres not anything that can fill it for me that was another dog.

I cope by keeping busy but when I have free time that´s when I end up crying over a lost pet
