@@ I'm sorry you had to leave new cat and lone dog behind. It is really hard to lose a pet, much moreso two! And even though you did what was best for them, and maybe what is best for your mom, it still stinks for you. Especially when you were close with them. I'd be downright distraught if I lost Amelia or Esther. Or had to leave them behind. Like if I ever set out on my own and get my own place, if I am ever well enough to, I'd probably have to leave my babies behind both because a lot of apartments don't take animals and two, it's their home. I hope you can do some nice things for yourself. I know for me it takes time to get a new pet because I have to grieve the loss of the other ones. But I hope in time you will be able to get a new pet and be happy. HUGS Kit
