I am sorry to hear about your loss. My German Shorthaired Pointer is going to be 13 years old and I believe at this point, he is living on love. I am in the grieving process already . I do not know how much longer the good Lord will give him. But he has certainly been a precious gift as I am sure yours was.
Be blessed that you knew the pure love of a dog.
My the good Lord comfort you in this time!
My Dachshund, James, wants to give you and your dog, some comfort and kisses.
