Congratulations on the new friend.
When I was a kid, we never had a pet that met a peaceful end. I vowed that I would never get a pet.
A few years after I got married, my mother asked me to take in a stray that was living behind her house. He was obviously abandoned and turned out to be a nice guy. Later we got a kitten to keep him company. As long as they were both alive, they never did get along!
Eventually, got a black lab. He was wonderful. He died about 6 years ago. I just couldn't bring myself to replace him. I told everyone that it was for economic reasons.
This last spring my youngest daughter wanted a dog of her own. Someone was giving away a Great Dane/Bull Mastiff female. I gave her the okay, as long as she paid for the feed. So far so good. But that dog is a nut!
Also in the last year we were given two Great Pyrenees. A male and a female. The female had been abandoned and probably been abused. She and I are now great friends, though she looks to be at least 9 or 10 years old. The way she gets around looks like I feel sometime, so I can empathize with her. The male Great Pyrenees earns his keep roaming the farm at night. We haven't lost a single chicken since he has been on duty!
Sorry about the long reply. I guess the topic just touched a cord.
Well, hope you have a long time to spend with your new friend.

If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
