Losing a dog and trading

This is the reason I never wanted to get a pet because I know that one day they will pass before me and I won't be able to bear the pain of losing them. It would be like a part of myself has gone with them. And remembering all the beautiful memories would just add more to the pain. And I find it losing pets would be even worse than losing your human family or friends because a pet's love to you is truly unconditional when they accept us for what we really are and never judge or criticize or expect us to change. They just help us and support us whenever they see us in need.

I am so sorry for your loss. Seeing this is a thread from 3 months ago, I hope you are doing better now coping with the losses and it has not affected your trading too much.

All the best and also remember that you can talk to us on ET at any time. We will always be here with you.

I love animals, or at least all animals that have no more than four legs. :p
The rest I don't hate, I just want them to stay as far away from me as possible.

So I guess you love worms and snakes as well considering they have 0 legs, < 4 legs? LOL :p

How about getting a turtle or an African Grey? They will outlive you, no problemo...

Yeah but they don't provide much companionship and I don't enjoy birds as pets that much. So what I will probably do is get a young cat when I am REALLY REALLY old.
 
Sorry about your loss. I’ve lost one of my guys about two years ago in an accident, was unable to function for at least a month.

Hopefully it’s not too early to ask but are you thinking of getting another puppy?
 
I am guiding another old timer down that path. Dog dementia, anxiety, physical ailments, sundown syndrome, etc... are real issues with old dogs and poorly understood. Keep these guys comfortable , pain free.

Cats are a good option - they don't require as involvement as the dogs in terms of taking them out at least twice a day.
If you've never had a cat before, however, I recommend doing some research before you get the animal because they do have their quirks.
