I agree with all the poster's who referred to the grieving process. It will take time. I've had many furbabies through the years and with the death of each one they've taken a piece of my heart with them. And yes, I've had guilt and remorse. That is normal but I fine it hard to deal with. I've now got two dogs, both over the age 10. Not quite sure how old they are since they were both rescues. All I know is that with each year I have them is a blessing. Please take your time with the grief process and at some point you will find that you have the love and need for another pet. When that time comes you will know when you are ready. Pets bring so much to our lives. Take care of yourself.
