Thank you for your kind and helpful words. I am starting counseling tomorrow by the way. There are waiting lists everywhere here and I finally agreed to see a male therapist who has an availability. I do have to find out about volunteering. I would feel useful and have contact with people. I have two cats that I adore. My dog Theodore passed away last October and I still cry a little almost everyday. He was my baby and my best friend. Im not near ready for another. Im lonely and sad without him and thats probably a big part of my depression. You gave me alot to think about. Thank you
Kate

I’m so sorry about your loss of Theodore! 😢🐾🐾 I have never had to put a dog down or lose one yet. I have had to put down a couple cats and one sick kitten and that was really hard but I bet it will be even harder with my Covid rescue dogs. I had to put down my 13 year old cat last week due to a fast growing osteosarcoma bone cancer in his jaw. I didn’t really have time to prepare for the loss (he had IBD but he started to show signs of pain and I couldn’t bear to watch him suffer). By the way, I currently have a black cat named Teddie (like the name Theodore).
Maybe you could volunteer at an animal shelter or rescue or foster a senior dog. I fostered pregnant cats and kittens and dogs with puppies at one point because I love animals so much. I am not able to do that now plus take care of my own cats and dogs but I may look at volunteering at a rescue/shelter in the future.
