My daughter has decided not to have children. She has two dogs that she treats and feels that they are her children. She would do anything for them. I have accepted that they are my grandchildren and love them dearly. I feel for her when she loses one because while you can replace an animal you can't recreate the bond that you have with a loved pet. You can love another one but you can't replace one that's gone.

I have a friend that still hasn't over come her grief of losing her beloved poodle. She had no children but she had 15 years with a beloved companion. Every one is different and consider pets in different ways. They also grieve differently.
