Indeed RL does suck sometimes. And it's never ever easy to lose a loved one. I have fallen apart every time I've lost a beloved pet and have done the same thing you have regarding the little reminders of them. It's not quite the same when I lose a feral but there have been a few of those losses too that were pretty rough. I think there has only ever been one loss where I didn't already have another pet to fill the void and that was really rough. So, of course, within a month or so, I had adopted another kitty. Not as a replacement but I don't think I could have gotten through the hurt without another kitty to love.

So thank goodness for your GoldenDoodle...and tennis! Nothing like a hunky athletic tennis pro to get your mind off things for a little bit, right? 😉 And Netflix and the internet are great for filling your entertainment, cooking and trivia needs without adding any clutter. You can even find Bartletts online...I know because I've referenced it as well as other quote sites. (I'm such an internet junkie!)

Anyway, I'll be thinking of you and hoping your heart mends soon. 😍💝💕💗❤💖
