Well, you just know....
My story: We lost our Madeline after 8 years with us (she was 10) to a large tumor in her lungs. She was at my side the whole time I was recovering from PC surgery; she lived 2 years after that. My "man card" was revoked on the spot for the tears shed over that. I vowed never to get another as I couldn't handle a loss like that again... 1.5 months later, wife and daughter convinced me otherwise when they found 2 year old Suzie. All went well for almost 2 years (she had a lot of throwing up days) then she had to go due to stomach cancer; "man card" had to be suspended again. Yes, 1.5 months later a trip to the shelter resulted in getting 9 month old Cinder. All was well until 3 months later she became ill with FIP. No hope for recovery; just turned in my "man card" permanently at that point... I never had a pet until I was 50 and never thought I'd get so attached to an animal!! Well, you guessed it 1 month later here's Holly. 2 years now, "man card" back in my possession, and all is going well. So, go for it and good luck!!!![/QUOTE]
