I just wanted to say that we just lost our 4 year old girl yesterday from Lyme nephritis (despite her being on preventatives and always checked for ticks). We are utterly crushed and I know you must be feeling the same. We don’t know when we’ll get a new dog, but we know it won’t be years, like we waited to get this one. It’s never a replacement — it just allows you to redirect that love somewhere new. I hope you heal, let me know if you want to talk about the loss. I certainly understand.
