Oh honey, I am so sorry. Putting a pet down is so heartbreaking. And the fact your baby helps you with your psychosis. My heart really goes out to you. May I ask what is the reasoning for not getting another dog? I am all for respecting your husband's opinion, but if having one is therapeutic. I can understand you being absolutely devastated. For some people a pet is just a pet and then there are those of us that see them as family. I still miss my baby and it has been over 3 years since I had to put him down. He was my comfort as well. There was an unspoken bond and he was one of the best. I am very sorry for your impending loss. Sending lots of hugs.
