Over 50% of pet owners sleep with their pets. Dogs (and some cats) offer loyalty and unconditional love. The loss of a longtime pet is a source of genuine bereavement for most owners. The presence of pets eases ailments from high blood pressure to depression.

Bless their hearts.

Over 50% of pet owners sleep with their pets. Dogs (and some cats) offer loyalty and unconditional love. The loss of a longtime pet is a source of genuine bereavement for most owners. The presence of pets eases ailments from high blood pressure to depression. Bless their hearts.

My beloved kitty who was with me for 25 -- yes 25 -- years passed a year and a half ago and the pain of her loss is as sharp as the day she left.

Her older sister passed 7 years ago at the age of 18 and I still grieve.

If they aren't in Heaven (assuming I am allowed in) when I am called home, I don't want to go.
