  1. I've never had a household that was devoid of canine and feline family members so that might affect my answer, but, there really isn't a timeline. Just as with a hereditary family member, they're not "replaceable" in the sense one might "replace" a significant other. If you picked up a new kitty a day after losing your long time feline companion, you're not somehow replacing your old family, you're rescuing new family that can help you work through the grief of losing someone special to you. Each pet we take into our homes is a unique personality that can't be erased once they are no longer with us, and it become apparent when you learn to interact with your newest adoptee. What matters is your capacity to open yourself up to loving this new family member: whether or not you are able to process grief with the help of others or if you have to shut down to do so. If the answer is that you can love someone while grieving for another, then you can adopt a new pet right now.

  8. I'm resisting with all my might the temptation to turn on our AC. That shouldn't be a sentence typed in early March. I've got the fan on, window open, a laptop coolpad in my lap, and a wearable fan around my neck. I can't hear anything but I feel good.

  11. for those of you have lost a pet, how long did you wait before you got another one? (and was it a part of the grieving process for you, or were you pretty much over it?) we're supposed to go to the humane society this weekend. it's been almost a year, but it still feels like i'm just trying to replace him.

  12. @The_annoying_one I tried the Big Arch burger for lunch today. I didn't like it that much. It was too many things at once. I'd rather just have a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder. I guess I still liked it more than the CEO did. 🤷‍♂️

  16. It's been about 10 months with Biscuit and I don't see getting a new cat anytime soon. I want one so bad, but the time isn't right.

  17. The last dog I lost was probably at least 5 years before I got my current one. I had the same feeling when I decided to get the one I have now. Almost like it was a betrayal of some kind. I’m definitely not trying to convince you either way of what you should do. Sorry if this isn’t much help.

  18. I lost my shiba 5 years ago this month. I haven't replaced him. I'm not opposed to getting another dog though. You seem ready to me.

  23. After Sheeba, never got another dog....that was 17 years or so ago. My son got a gecko that wound up being my responsibility and that one wrecked me. Pet stores never had crickets in stock, ordering them online was iffy... sometimes they show up dead and the gecko wont eat dead crickets. I gave him dried meal worms, bit he wouldn't eat them.....so i started hunting crickets in my yard. I think i poisoned him with those shitty, lead water crickets....anyway. That was like 3 years ago and no more pets for me. I'm good. Edit, it was around covid so i guess longer than 3 years but it feels like yesterday
