Its horrendous... no dog will ever be what Met has been to me, not ever.... All I can send is a big hug. Having lost 4 dogs in the last year, All I can say is that time will help. Only you and met will know when it is time. If it helps any. I believe that their presences stay around until we no longer need them and that they have a hand or paw in our lives, at least for a while, after they are physically gone. Again, a prayer and energy sent your way.
