Buried a friend today :(
Sorry for your loss.
I know how much it hurts.....
The older I get the worse it is.
I told my wife after the last one that I didn't want to have any more dogs so I wouldn't have to go through it again.
Didn't last long, 2 labs later.
Stay strong. That relationship you've had
Is beautiful. And everlasting. And personal.
God knows.
Take care.
Dave
