Hi - I was never a doggy person and when we got ours 15 years ago when the children were little I was the last one to be won over as there was so much work to do with children AND a dog. But as time went by I became her focus and she my pal. She died this week and I am really devastated by the impact it has had on me - never having had a dog in my life. I'm very sad indeed and the children have left home and seem to have dealt with it easier than me. I miss having her in the house and even tripping up over her is missed. Just want a bit of support I guess. She was very ill at the end and had to be put to sleep.
