I had (and still do) a very hard time as well dealing with other people when I lost Brock a few weeks ago. I guess it is sad that people never experience that kind of love. People think I am nuts when they see the urn on my mantle and his pics plastered everywhere. They especially freak when I tell them I will never bury his ashes because me and Mike made a promise with each other that whoever dies first he will beburied wth one of us... I even went as far as to tell my mom God forbid, but if we die in an accident or something she is to put him with me. He was just like one of the kids to me. Then we got Bindee in December and alot of the replies I got was "well you have another dog " ...I tell ya I came really close to becoming violent at certain times when people acted like I as a nutso!! It still is a constant ache. We absolutley are nuts about Bindee and Milo, but I tell ya I got Brock when I was single and me and him had a bond that I dont think I will ever have again and I HATE that! But then again...I cherish that as well.
