person A: I had my dog for 13 years before she passed away last year from cancer. It was devastating!
person B: Oh no I am so sorry to hear that. Are you planning on getting  a new dog? 
person A: Probably not for a while. She was a great companion_comma_ but I don't think my heart is ready to bring in a new dog quite yet.
person B: Aww_comma_ yeah I know what you mean. Dogs are so lovable. I also have a new pup myself. I got him a couple years ago
