My Dog Bentley Passed Away About A Month Ago. He Had Renal Failure And We Had To Put Him To Sleep. He Was A 7 Year Old Mastiff/Lab Mix. And 9 Days Before That Me And My Fiancee's Oldest Cat Abbey Died. And Before That My Fiancee's Family Dog Got Run Over. So It's Been A Rough Year So Far. Buried 3 Pets In Less Than 9 Months. I Was Doing OK After He Just Passed And All Of A Sudden Lately It's Been Really Rough. I'm Crying Like A Baby Now. I Try Not To Think About It But It's Really Hard.

I Am Planning On Getting Another Dog But I Am Not At That Point Yet. It's Just I'm Depressed Everyday And It's Getting Hard To Find Motivation To Get Out Of Bed. Before I Had To Walk Him, Feed Him Normal Dog Stuff. I Have No Job, No Job Prospects, No Real Life Skills To Get A Job. But I Am A Good Pet Owner. So Now I Feel Like I Am Back To Being Good At Nothing.

You were a good pet owner.

You will be a good pet owner when the time is right for you.

You are a person who knows how to be a good pet owner.

Those are life skills that I wish everybody had!
