While I do not place the same value on pets as I do on humans I will have to admit my heart will break and I will miss Miss Scarlett O’Hara (dog) when she passes on. She is loyal, cute, snores like a sailor and is quite the diva. She also has the good sense to never, ever chew my shoes
PS: grieving has no playbook, a loss is a loss and we all grieve as an individual. .

I personally do not keep pets, but I find the cynical attiude of the previous comments rude and uncaring.

Imagine being in a relationship while knowing that your partner feels this way about a dog!

Anyone who thinks a dog is a good confidante should try an orchid. They are much more reliable. And cost less to keep. Honestly, Judy, have you no limits?
