Has anyone lost their best friend?

Due to health issues I dont leave the house very much and have a Canine and Feline buddy here with me to keep me company when everyone is at work and such. A few weeks ago it hit me like it does every now and then of how hard it will be when I am forced to say goodbye to either of my friends but then they do something that makes me laugh and I shake it off and enjoy the moment.
Here is an example of how goofy I am, I have a file folder with a Ziploc bag of each friends hair as I am convined in not too distant future there is a chance we can clone our friends..............I need help lol!

Chadnliz, rent Schwarzenegger's "The Sixth Day" with your little buddies at your side. That movie may cure you of your itch to bring Fido back!

My "Precious" is a 4 yr old female Rotty- a most loving, affectionate companion who always listens at my side.
I am sorry to hear of your loss as I would miss my Precious dearly.

No Sci-Fi movie could ever convince me that I wouldnt want a chance once again to have a friend similar to those I have now, no matter how silly the story is.

Hey Chadnliz,
My health too is weakened from injury.
I'd love Precious to be able to return, when she does go, but I doubt I could afford it. Have you considered cost?
