Why do I feel so sad when I think about my dog?

I had a dog once and she was the light in my darkest times. Whenever I was sad she was there as if she knew that I wasn’t happy, and it would comfort me just to have her near. Nothing else could help me feel better then just spending time playing with my dog. Sometimes you don’t want to talk to somebody and have them give you advice or judge you for it, you just want someone to talk to and listen. With animals it doesn’t matter to them whether you mess up and do something you shouldn’t because as long as you’re good to them they’ll always love you for who you are.

My dog was that for me and it really hurt me when she was stolen from me awhile back. I was heart-broken for months and it still hurts when I think about her at times, because even though it might seem dumb she was my best-friend and the only one I could talk to without feeling judged.

(lol) Now that I’ve rambled on about my life here’s my advice for you - I was really not into getting a dog for a long time after that, but not having her around anymore reminded me just how much she Really wasn’t there. So finally my Mom and Step-dad took me to a friend’s place and they had some puppies that had just been born awhile back and were wanting to get rid of them. I was apprehensive about getting one since I Knew that even if I did get one it would never be the same as my old dog and I would always be measuring it up to her, but my mom and dad were very pressing on the matter so I ended up getting one and it turned out it was a good choice. Even though this dog wasn’t the same as my old one at all it helped to have something to fill the space that had been left in my life after I lost my old dog. I know that you said that you tried getting one and it didn’t turn out well but keep at it. I know it doesn’t seem like a good idea now but trust me you’ll be much happier in the long run if you do. =)
