In which we discuss pet loss, the topic we may just have the most resistance to. What makes pet loss so different from other forms of loss? Why do we keep choosing to invite our beloved animals into our lives, despite the knowledge that we will most likely outlive them. How different from our pets are we, really? And why is this such a hard topic for Sarah and Rebecca to discuss? Not that any of this really matters, as all pets are immortal!
