What is good about having a pet, the daily writing prompt asks.
It’s nice to have another living thing to share love with. The laughter they provide. The calm they give. The listening ear they lend. The safety some provide. The wonderful company they are. And many more things.
I miss having a pet, but the losses over the years from family pets were just too great for my better half to bare again so we don’t have one currently. I understand that and accept it.

That’s the hardest part – losing them. I lost a cat recently and after a year or so we decided to get two new ones. It’s taken me a bit to warm up to our new ones and I still am holding back a bit.

We are in a similar situation, Mike. We had four dogs over almost 40 years and five cats. The last dog was a special needs dog, and losing her left a huge hole in our hearts. Neither of us is ready to go through that pain again.

Sorry for your loss Dan.
