Not really piecing and trying not to jinx it, but

Thanks, GW. I'm so sorry about the loss of your dog. This is the suckiest part about having pets. I'm only halfway joking when I say that my next pet will be one of those turtles that live 100 years. I hope they like to snuggle.

We talked about it today actually and he acted much more normal as compared to losing our other cat last February. I'll make sure to keep my expectations low though as far as how I would expect him to act. I'm not sure how I feel about him being "involved" in it because I don't think I'm ready to be that vulnerable in his presence yet!
