I inherited a jack Russell in January, and she is a firm family member now.
She's four, and I love her beyond reason. She really is my baby.
And it makes me scared to love her, and cuddle her, and play with her as much as I'd like..... Because one day, she's going to die. And I am going to have to watch my darling little girl get old and die, and there is nothing I can do to prevent this happening.
I have lost two much loved pets in 6 years, just bad luck, they were stray cats with existing health problems. But the memory of their passing has left me terrified of losing another much loved animal.
How on earth do people get round this? How do people pick themselves up from that loss and love whole heatedly again?
