When you live alone, pets are just SO important. One of my uncles missed getting that “gene”. When my grandmother lost her pet of many, many years, she mourned him as much as she mourned the loss of her husband. My uncle just didn’t get it. My dad told him, “When Pop died she still had Pugs to talk to. Now she has no one.” “Well, she still has us.” “Do you live there? Do you sit beside her while she watches TV?” “Well, no.” “OK, then.”
