hmmm... strange day. my brain just doesn't want to function properly. his collar was hanging around a doorknob, and when i opened the door this morning it jingled, and for an instant i really did expect to see a leggy mass of graying curls standing in his customary "Good Morning Jett" spot

I understand how you feel. My mom's talking about getting a kitten for xmas. I don't know that I'm ready for another kitty. We went to the SPCA about a month ago and I felt kind of sick being there, too soon you know? I'd say don't rush it, but it seems like you may not have a choice if your other family members choose too. I get the underdog deal as well, I find myself attracted to older cats with scraggily fur. They may not be the most attractive, but a good companion and adorable in their own way.

yeah, i know what ya mean. i'm almost to a point where i think i could handle another cat (and mine died even before YOURS did), but i can wait 'till i move out.

and then i'll adopt a grown cat who really needs a home. kittens are cute, but i hate that a cat will watch 20 kittens come and go from the shelter before someone will even pay him the time of day... and all for the crime of having lived a year or two?

but another dog? no. i can't. not now. the thought of it just makes me want to scream.

awww. well you need time to mourn. loosing a dog is just like loosing a famly member. and sometimes the dog is closer to you and knew more about you that anyone else.

He was very special, and you can't replace that.
