I wanted to start a thread in honor of those who have lost pets but I see others have added theirs to this one so I will as well. Mandi was my mom's rescue and Mom gave her to me when she moved into her apartment. Rusty, my chocolate beagle, was given to me by a coworker when my other dog (Max) passed unexpectedly. Coworker was never home so he did what was best for Rusty. He's the only pure bred dog I've ever owned and he put a special place in my heart for beagles. Copper, most of you already know him, was a rescue I got from PetSmart when he was just a puppy. I got him because Rusty needed a friend and this was before Mandi came into the home. My heart has adjusted to the loss of all but Copper. I still look for him, hear him, so yes, I'm still grieving. I know I'll get another dog one day but I can't do it right now. I miss them all but because it's fresh, I really miss my Copper.
