Pain From Losing My Pet

The gorgeous red-gold Irish Setter I owned
since I was fourteen no longer greeted me when I came house.
Few people understand the pain of losing a cherished pet. Some people find it silly to find a grown adult mourning the loss of their faithful companion.
These critics have either had a bad experience, or simply have never had a dog.
Anyone who's ever had a dog knows how much joy they can bring. Sure they occasionally don't relieve themselves in the right place, or scare your guest, but they're worth it.
From the moment they cuddle up in your arms as you bring them home, a special bond is formed between dog and master.
I sometimes wonder about my dog. Did he die because the sitter was careless and fed him
the wrong bone? Maybe she hit my dog.
Maybe it was because my dog missed me too much. Maybe, the sitter let the dog
out and he got run over.
Maybe she forgot to close the door and someone tried to break in, and Rusty attacked the thief and got killed in the process. I don't know.
Life's uncertain. That much I have learned. While there are many things in life you can't control, you should take advantage of the ones that you can control.
Things like life insurance, health insurance, and home security systems, while at the time may seem like an inconvenience, can prevent so much grief.
If I'd had a security monitoring system, who knows, maybe Rusty would still be here today.
