I'm so sorry. I've had dogs all my life and losing one is
always hard. My condolences. Not that he lacks for affection
but it reminds me to go hug Damien, my hound/border collie mix,
right now.

It was bound to happen. Our dog, my shop dog, got old and we had to put her
down Friday.
She was a Chocolate Lab and adopted our family after being traded between 3
previous families. 2 months before we were adopted we had put down our 10
year old Great Dane and I was not really ready for another dog quite yet but
the price was right. I really did not have much to do with her but as time
passed she chose me to be her companion over the other family members and I
grew very fond of her.
