Koalio, My Boxer that just passed today was a pound puppy too. I am so so sorry for your loss, millions of hugs to you!

I cope by telling ppl about what I am going through. I have found out that on here, especially, I have many kindred spirits who can bring me out of a bad place. I may not even talk about what I am going through but just seeing everyone on here and reading about their lives and knowing that they are there helps out.

I too only have one great friend IRL and she is busy in her life so I usually don't bug her about anything much. I do bring it to my online fellow horse/pet owning family and they always understand.

The other thing that I do is spend as much time as possible hugging on my Noggin. He is always great to just stand there while I blubber away about whatever happen.

Again, I am so so sorry for your loss. {{{{HUGS}}}}
