well the sadness that this even can cause as I lost my good friend of 15 years a little over a year ago.

It took me a long time to get over it and I got a lot of advice that I really didnt want to hear.

2 Months after Dach passed, my wife brought home a rescue dog that was obviously in need of a good home. At first i was upset as I didnt want a replacement dog.

I soon learned that was the best thing that could ever happen to me.

I still miss my friend Dach, but my new friend Elvis made the whole world a better place and the hurt go away much quicker.

Take care and take comfort in the fact that so many of us know exactly how you feel.
