Having never had a pet I hope it is appropriate to say that Shakespeare line about it being better to have loved and lost to never having loved at all. Think of all the pleasure and love you gave Pasha for years. You guys made him really happy.
Actually, I have to correct my comment about not having a pet. Triumph, the koala who got a pink bootie prosthesis to compensate for the lack of a foot, is not doing well. He has leukemia. Koala lovers who know about him are grieving, that includes me. His story was so heartening till now. But koalas have something like a 10-14 year lifespan and when they go it can be something that causes them to starve to death like chlamydia which is endemic. It can be treated in a clinic but the koala has to be taken to one.
Here is a picture of Triumph who koala lovers refer to as a "beautiful boy." Yup.

He is a beautiful boy! I hope he isn't in too much pain.
Yes he is beautiful, very photogenic. I don't think he's in pain, he's so famous there's a team of like 20 vets caring for him and figuring out what was wrong with him in the first place.
I hope Triumph recovers soon. Poor thing! And, yes, we had over 16 wonderful years with Pasha. He will always be in our hearts.
I like the patient to doctor ratio. He's definitely in the best care.
I hadn't thought about the doctor-patient ratio but you're definitely right. If Triumph doesn't pull through it's not for a lack of medical attention.

Notice how chubby "Wattle" (his name) is. Fat koalas are a rarity, after all, we're
