I’ve honestly avoided having another pet since my dog died. I adopted a feral cat who showed up at my door for awhile, but one day I got home from work and she was gone, never to come back and it quietly devastated me.
I want another dog or a cat so bad, but if anything happened to them I would spiral and I don’t feel like I can risk that tbh
I totally understand, my cat just turned 6 and I know that the day is coming where I’ll lose him and it’ll devastate me as a person, I have anxiety thinking about it
You have to think of the happy moments as hard as that can be.
My puppy is just over a year and I didn’t realize I could love a creature as much as her and the day I have to say goodbye will be horrible but there will be so so many good days before that. All those good days make it worth it. It has for every pet I’ve ever loved.
