Sorry to hear that Matt.
I may know a bit of your pain, having lost (over the years) a dog, a bird, several hamsters, some fish that insisted on jumping out of the water, three cats (which hurt the most)....
I guess it's the way of things. I guess it's a bit our own fault for closely befriending creatures with a lifespan so much shorter than ours.. An aunt of mine has a parrot which she already had 30 years ago. It may well outlive her.
