I'm sorry Ani, losing a pet really sucks. It's psychotic, but quite frankly, I liked my pets more than most people. I lost 2 dogs and a cat in the past 2 years. My 2 american eskimos (Sir Melvin 14 years and Lady Diana 15 years)died in aug 2001 and march 2002. My Cat Marius 11 years died 2 days before Thanksgiving 2002.

I still haven't had the strength to buy a new pet. But my urge to get a new pet grows everyday.
