Hey,

I recently lost my furry friend… It was a tough period and I’m still sad, even if time is healing slowly.

It’s the first time I had to deal with such a situation where I have to decide when to go to the vet for the final journey… It was so hard…

Today I can talk about it without getting too emotional. I’ve also written a blog post on my website to express what I was feeling about that.

People are telling me to adopt another one, but to be honest, I don’t feel like I can do it now… Maybe it will come back, I don’t know.

All I can say is that it was one of the hardest thing endure. We love so much those small little animals… Maybe too much.

And you, how have you dealt with such situation? Did you ended up getting another one at some point?

    My heart goes out to you my friend. It’s one of the hardest things to do but being a good owner means making that terrible decision for them. A friend of of mine very aptly said that “adopting a pet is signing up for tragedy” but the time you have is so sweet.

    I can tell you, for me, I have had to wait as much as year before I could bring myself to adopt another cat.
