You were kind enough to tell me sunday and the circumstances and the shock of your pet's demise is very upsetting. Many of us on the board understand how you are feeling. When we lost Heidi we only went a few days before we started to look for another. Never could we replace her so I went for something completely different and boy I got that!
Maybe think of visiting a local animal shelter. We found taking Smoky on at 18 months potentially easier than a kitten with claws! You might come away with a pair.
Thank you Rita - sadly Jess was one of a pair - her sister Sam decided that when Dave died she wasn't going to stay down here with me, so she opted to go up on his cloud with him, now he has Jess as well. I can't think about another pet at the moment, but maybe in a while.
