Losing a beloved pet is losing a friend and a member of the family. I know exactly how you must feel about your loss, for I still feel sad about the death of my favorite dog, Chauncey, a golden retriever....the best dog I ever had (even though I now have 2 Yorkies, who are like my little children.)
Nobody else gives you the deep, unjudging love like your dogs do... you are the light of their world.
