I haven't decided whether I am going to even put up a tree in the rental here.<br /><br />I am the same way. I lost my Misty about 8 years ago and I cannot bear to think about getting another pet. I thought I was the only one out there. It seems most people get another pet right away. I can't bear to think of Misty either. <br /><br />Have a great night and drop me a line when you get a chance. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-38389765217758642902018-12-05T10:48:18.535-06:002018-12-05T10:48:18.535-06:00Katie, sometimes I think I've taken the easy w...Katie, sometimes I think I've taken the easy way out and just bought more each year so I wouldn't have to disturb things that are packed away.

Ginger was a 2 year old when we adopted her and she was truly my best friend. I love all my adopted pound grand pups, and it killed me when the oldest 3 passed away in the last few years close together. Every year I think I will adopt myself, but just can't actually do it. After several years, I still cry every time I see a photo of Sweet Dee too. Even though she was my daughter's dog, when I visited she was my best pal.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-34563949141258220652018-12-04T18:46:54.690-06:002018-12-04T18:46:54.690-06:00Thanks Benita.

Against my plans, I actually broke down and bought two Christmas pillows at (of all places) Kroger where they were half off.

ALL rescues:) I lost two this past year and I told the vet that came out to the house that it is never easy saying goodbye - and she said it's not suppose to be! Well said. It is heartbreaking every.single.time.
