    • Close Pet Bereavement

      I have owned dachshunds for 20 years. Molly, my 16 year old, died Oct. 15 and Zorro, my 17 year old, died Dec. 12. My avatar is Chiquita, who died March 23, 2006. I have uploaded pictures of them for you to see.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      After 19 years, my wife up and left me and the dogs without warning, for another guy. I hadn't paid attention to the signs that we were not growing, sharing or nurturing the relationship. We never confided in each other, not about things that mattered. It took a few months, but I realized breaking up was the right thing to do, and we are on good terms. We were officially divorced in April.
