Probably best to keep a close eye on the dog.
It is by no means a laughing matter, but that was funny right there.
I too was a broken man for a while. For a long while.
But eventually I got over it. My problem was I kept fighting against it, instead of just letting it go. Once I let go, everything is fine.
A lieutenant once said to me after my divorce, and this is a true quote:
My biggest fear when I was married was that my wife would leave me. My biggest fear after she left was that she would come back.
