Ah Mike, now I can't see the computer screen because my eyes are filling with tears. Wendy's loss and yours with Miso reminds me of course of many special pets that I've had to say goodbye to over the years. It's true that some were more special than others. Some pets you really bond with and it's hard to imagine life without them; but, we are forced to deal with that reality, eventually. I'll never be without companion animals; but, that does mean I'm going to experience more devastating heart-ache, yet to come. Still, having them in my life makes life so much more worth the effort and joyful. I'm sorry for your loss of Miso. It seems that you didn't really get much notice of his end; so, you must've really been taken by surprise and ended up a bit shell-shocked. That must've been hard. My condolences. But, it's great for you and for Ollie, that you brought him into your life. There's always plenty of deserving animals that need a home with a loving family. Lucky Ollie!
