In the last month, I've lost four pets; two dogs and two cats. One dog and two of the cats, we sorta saw coming; they were getting old and/or were very sick in various ways (the sicknesses were unrelated to each other, just bad luck). Today, I lost the second dog, when she somehow got her head stuck in a bag while I was out, and suffocated.

Suffice to say, I'm in a bit of a funk.
