Thanks, I feel better now and haven't really felt sad or "depressed" in over a week. But, there's still one thing that worries me. I don't think I can outgrow my puppy. I've relied on him for emotional support for so long I don't think I can let him go. I know I'm gonna have to give him up one day, and it kills me. He's been the only person I've ever trusted enough to pour myself out to (other than the Internet of course). I talk to him every day, and he's always been there to fill this emotional hole I have. I know I'm going to have outgrow him eventually, but then I would feel so lost and lonely. I'm not kidding when I said I don't think I can live without him; I'm too emotionally attached. What can I do?
