I believe that getting Ash was the best course of action, too. You need small furry critters in your life. And it sounds stupid, but it is possible to grieve and have a new pettable lovely in your life too. It helps. A lot. People looked at my family funny when we had to put Ripper down, but then got Jet 3 days later (after having found him the evening after we took Rip to the vets, I think?!) but honestly it helped a lot, and I don't feel like I have anything unfinished regarding Ripper, we still think of him fondly etcetera, but having cuteballofannoyingfluffdestructodog helped loads. Plus, now Corporate Pirate won't be lonely. Because we can't have that!
