None of our pets got away ... but of course, we've had several that died. They are a real part of your family and it's so difficult no matter how you lose them.
No, I don't grieve, but I do still sometimes think about my beautiful Persian/Siamese mix that I had for years. I loved her dearly. She was the first case of feline leukemia I knew about. I would not have another cat for about 10 years.

Yep my old hound dog Sundance. Thankfully there are still traces of hIm around. Before he died he taught the dog I have now his tracking skills and his ninja skills (he was like a ninja that kept us safe while we slept). He also fatherd a litter of pups and I kept track of one of those pups and all the pups they had. After 3 generations I can still see a trace or 2 of Sundance in them. Cheers!
