I didn't had a dog, but a cat that meant very much to me
Not after a bit more than a year, we need to take of a stray with her 2 kittens.
So much emotions are coming up, I sometimes can't take it.
But as stupid as it sounds, there is a TV show with Dr Pol in Massachusetts or something
Anyway, he says, you can never replace a loved dog, but you can always love a new/another one
And that's true.
My cat has nothing anymore from my grieving, but this cat family now has got everything, because we care.
But as said, it's really hard on us and we spent nights crying - and nightmares are coming up for me
So, it's not easy, but still, he is right
