To all of you who have lost a pet, you are not alone nor misunderstood here. It does help to talk about it and I personally want to thank those who have listened to me on a number of occasions talk about losing my Bailey and Tizzie. These were not even recent deaths, yet my friends here were so generous in their understanding. Don't ever hesitate to let out your feelings about your love and loss on this board. I feel bad for those who can't comprehend. They are the ones who have not known the intense relationship with a pet.

Spencer, I worry about what you are referring to. I don't even want to take a planned trip with my husband because this issue has not been resolved in our household.
