Well, after Donnie passed in February, I lost my service trained (I have Parkinson's) German Shepherd, Heidi, suddenly in May, and I've had to rehome my Triton Cockatoo, Nikko, in the last two weeks.

Although my pets are not even comparable to my son, I still have this terrible feeling of loneliness and I'm really not interested in the things I once enjoyed. It is all I can do to get up and move around.

Now, I have discovered that my friend and neighbor across the street has been moved to Houston by her family, she is quite elderly and needed the care and attention. We were the only two home during the daytime on our block.

That's all, I just wanted to vent.
