All 3 of those statements are truer than true and relevant to all us animal lovers!!!
How well I know .... because our place hasn't been the same for almost a year since we lost our last rescued Brittany girl. All of our Brittanies over the past 30 years or so have been rescues from ABR. Unfortunately the wife and I have decided to not replace the last one at our age. We'd likely leave another one behind when we go and we don't want that.
And yes to those who might ask ..... we have seriously considered a senior rescue dog of maybe 10+ years old. But neither of us think we could go through another loss of a truly loved one. And once they come into the house, they truly become a member of the family and a 'loved one'.
We've even considered 'fostering' a rescue dog, but it would still be 'losing' them when they went to their 'forever' home. I once heard it said about fostering dogs and how it hurts our hearts when the time comes for them to go to their forever homes ........
"When they have to leave us for their forever home, it breaks our hearts so that theirs never have to be broken again!"
Yeh, I'm just an ol' softy when it comes to my animals!

Our most sincere sympathies for your loss. They give so much, and leave such a hole when gone.

Thanks, but it's been awhile now and things are getting back to normal. Of course we still miss her very much, actually we miss all of them we've had over the years.
I think I've said "No More" every time we lost one. But up till now we always got another one.
