Oh as i read your post , i feel tears coming, i know exactly how you are feeling, life just is not the same for me either since Ellie left, i had so much interaction with her, as she was so ill, and she was always there, to be honest i feel lost and lonely without her, if that makes sense, so my heart goes out to you,none of them are replaceable, just having a new pet ,just helps ease the pain a little and makes us focus on that, but our hearts still ache and it will just take time.

Sending you a lots of hugs and know that i and many here understand completely what you are saying, take care.

Bobs memoriam is just beautiful,he was such a pretty dog.
