Lost my little buddy today
Gah man definitely the hardest reality we have to face as dog owners.
I'm sure you gave Tico a damn good life during his time here and I'll bet if he could talk, he'd say there's no better place to call it a life than in the comfort of the home you made for him.
The true cost of a good dog, is a broken heart in the end.
Condolences to you and the family.
