I'm sad

There is nothing more heartbreaking than losing a pet.  A friend just lost her 12 year old lab and it always makes me so sad because I just know it's getting close to the time that I will lose Harley and Max.  My dogs are 11 and 12 and I have no idea how much longer they will be with us.  Max is my last true connection with my sister and I don't know how I will handle it.
