I find myself realizing how many habits I had in place that I did without thinking such as checking/refreshing the water bowl before leaving the house, carefully walking in certain areas where she used to sleep, going to open the back door and call her to go out at certain times. etc. I would love to get another dog but right now I can't really think about it because I want MY dog. I want her, the one I just lost.
