Hey there! Thank you for the warm welcome!
I know how that feels. I think after my childhood pet passed away, Tiger, I didn't have a pet for a couple to a few years. It felt like there was something missing. Or at least I needed something there for me. Luckily, we had family friends that let us watch their dog while they traveled to Japan. And then later on, we took him in as our own. Now everything just seems so complete. I don't know what to do without the life of an animal in my own home. But again, thank you for the warm welcome! I'm glad to be here.
