Thank you :( Yeah, I'm still really upset. I don't think I'm recovering anytime soon XD
As for the room thing, I pretty much just cry myself to sleep now thinking about him. Someone gave me a golden retriever dog stuffed animal (as he was a golden) when I first got him as a puppy, so I don't let that thing out of my sight when I'm in my room. Even as a 14/15 year old, whenever Duke would get sick I would take extra good care of the stuffed dog, and he always got better. I suppose it didn't work this time.
I know it'll get better soon- is has to!
Also, even though dogs die, and it's a painful death for everyone around them, they are oh so worth it in the end! I was so blessed to have this dog. I hope one day you'll get to experience a dog's life the way I did! :D
And as for your turtles, I'm sorry :(
