Well...In know about losing pets. But the theory is, if you get 2 or 4 at one time..
when you lose one, you have 2 or 3 others left. That is of course assuming you lose
one instead of all of them at once.
If worst comes to worst, go ahead and get some more, they'll make you feel better and you wont be as lonely. Hope you can get these healed though. Good luck with the candida too. I certainly know what you're going through there!
