yeah. there's a different bond when it's with a pet. cause the pet will never harm you, and always be ther to keep ya company. It is hard losing pets. i've lost a few, and it's painful everytime.
I can sympathize. I love animals and am always sad when one dies. I always remind myself that I was lucky enough to enjoy it and should be ahppy I could be with it rathar than be sad that it is gone.
