My dog passed last October and I don't know if I'll ever feel whole. My whole life revolved around him, and he is where I got my confidence from. Now that he's gone, everything feels empty and meaningless. Nothing has a purpose. I hate when people think getting a new dog is the answer, it's not. I don't know if I can confidently say that I will love any other pet as much as I loved him. I know there will be more, and I will try my hardest to give them all the lives they deserve but deep down I know it won't ever stack up. I know I will feel guilty because I'm not loving on them as much. I know every pet is different, but they all deserve the same energy and effort and l'm worried I won't ever be able to give that much ever again. - Human
