Sometimes I like my pets more than my family members! So when the time comes to say goodbye for good, it is one of the worst things to happen. You may think that I’m being over-dramatic, but in actuality I’m not. You lose a piece of yourself when you lose someone you love, even in the case of losing a pet. Shelly…
