@reflectingmonkey I am felt the same way when my dogs died. My 1st dog died @ 14, but that's another story that I'm VERY bitter about, & my 2nd dog died @ 16, just old age. I have a ferret now bc I've moved since then, ik her lifespan is only 8-10 years but at rate I'm going she'll probably outlive me. Animals are our best friends.
@reflectingmonkey Mine's one in a million. To me, she's very affectionate, comes when called 85% of the time, depends on their personality. I got lucky, she wasn't much of a biter when I got her, so it was easy to break her of that. Main issue is that she loves getting into things she shouldn't, even though she has a 5 story cage (will show pic) I let her roam free when I'm home.
@nedkelly That's so sad. I watched my 2nd dog put to sleep, I was there for her on her first day, I used to wake up in the middle of the night to make sure she was alive & I didn't roll over her (she slept with me) & I had to be the one who took her to the vet to put her down. I held her in my arms & petted her until she died. Her last gesture was to lick my hand.....
