person A: My dog_comma_ which I had for about 15 years passed away last week. I miss her so much. My home feels empty without her around.
person B: That is so sad. I am sorry. Losing a pet is so hard. They are family.
person A: That's spot on_comma_ she felt like a family member. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to have another pet.
person B: I know the feeling. The thought of replacing them seems impossible. Only time will tell if you are ever ready for another.
