Hello all. Aging and pets:

We just lost our two beloved cats and two corgis within the last 14 months. They were all just about the same ages and they were raised together. On top of dealing with the grieving we are now looking at whether we can handle adding a new furry family member at this stage of our lives....we are 72 and 76. Our main concern is who will care for them if they outlive us....no relatives close or able. The thought of not having another cat or dog in our lives is awful to imagine. Anybody else struggling with this. We could foster but I know we would become so attached that we find it nearly impossible not to foster fail.
