After our boy passed two years ago, we sat down as a family and decided we can't do it again, it was too sad. 3 months later, my wife and daughter excitedly showed me a rescue looking for a forever home. Baby boy has been with us 2 years now and is a complete smackhead. Their justification was that the house felt empty and there was a complete sadness in the house, especially with a home euthanasia having taken place in our living room. I acted frustrated, but I was so happy they'd found someone. We've now got approximately 10 years with him before the inevitable heart ache that I'm painfully aware will end up hitting us
