Some sad stories guys. I've lost a lot of dogs over the years but I can honestly say I've never been more attached to the 3 dogs I have right now and I dread that day.
I have to say that I will probably never have 1 dog at a time again...losing my last 2 really knocked me low, so low. I am still reeling from last weekend and never want to go through this again. My friends/family suggest that when the time comes I should get more than one- I cannot speak from personal experience but based on their experiences (one of my close friends is a veterinarian who always has 3 at a time) supposedly it lessens the sting a little bit when something happens to one of them.
