I just read this post and had to express my sympathy Marecki. I too have lost beloved pets and no matter what anyone says you are losing a member of your family and the grief is real. When we had to have our 17 year old Sally (Siberian/Shepherd mix) euthanized a couple years ago I couldn't go to work the next day because I was so torn up (she was blind, deaf, and her back legs had become so unstable she couldn't get up one day in spite of all the medicine we were giving her). I agree with Gillie; though Whisky can never be replaced in your heart, another little puppy or homeless canine from an animal shelter will definitely help ease the pain.
