60. Been a pet owner most of my life, lost many pets over the decades

So you will understand if I don't post the vid for Seasons In The Sun. No Doubt has 'Don't Speak' which I am told is an homage to a pet Gwen Stefani lost and that song disturbs me too. Neither song can I listen too right now because I own a very old dog who like all my pets before will break my heart when she passes.
