What did you miss the most when you lost an animal friend?

I find the whole feel of the house different now that Frodo is gone. Quieter and cleaner but no funny face or demanding barks. The routines are shaken up, don’t need to be home to walk him. No bouncing crazy puppy face when I come in to the kitchen. I came home last night and put away all the doggie reminders and the house is very sterile. Alone again, naturally….

Care to share any stories, tea or sympathy?
