25. Our pup passed last November. It was absolutely horrible.

We loved the girl to death. She was so sweet. We even put a huge amount of money into surgery, knowing it would only give her 6 months to a year. Not for us, but because we thought it was only fair for her—as she was so healthy otherwise.

But she passed, as was predicted. Maybe a few months sooner.

I didn't think I would ever get over her not being with us (restaurants, traveling, walks, beach, dog parks); but we got a new pup, and for the first month or so it was empty. Now the new dog has fit into our lives (and needs us), and although we still greatly miss our girl, life is moving forward again.

Hang in there. It's worth it.
