Thanks for the advice and support everyone
I do happen to have a cutie pie who is the main man in my life....his name is Brownie! I adopted him when he was just a baby from a local shelter. I'm an only child so that's part of the reason I have issues with feeling lonely a lot I think. Brownie has really taken the role of brother to me for half of my life. His 13th birthday is coming up in September actually!
Unfortunately he's pretty old for a dog his size (He's a german shepard mix) and so he's been having some health problems like recurring seizures. I guess I might just be feeling kind of in the slump because I'm not sure how much longer he will pull through
I'm thinking along the line of weeks and months. It's very sad to see, but something that I have to accept is part of the natural life process.
I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have left to spend with him as much I can! I really love that ole furry squishable guy!
