Wow Steve you do have a lot going on. It is a busy time of year and along with the other stuff going on it can get a bit overwhelming. I too know how tough it is to lose a pet who is more a dear family member then a pet, we lost a 16 year old Dachshund and 15 year old German Shepherd in the last 2 years and we are still affected by the loss.
Anyway, good luck with everything!!
