Another friend waiting by the Rainbow Bridge

[Weasel Mender]

As Diane said, you're in our thoughts. One of our cats died a few months back and we had to leave our dog (Albeit with a wonderful family) in Scotland.
Those companions mean so much and it is terrible to lose them.

Might I suggest you read this last will and testament of a very good dog?

It really is a wonderful comfort.

Thank you Arlen it was welcome as I said one leaves and another arrives. and thanks to all others who have written here your kind words do lighten grief

Losing a great dog is a wrench. Even if expected. They're there, then they're not.

Sorry for your loss.

"They are playful companions when we are in the mood for fun; they are loving companions when we are lonely or depressed; they are health-giving companions when they spur us into taking long walks; they are calming companions when we become agitated, apprehensive, or tense; and they still carry out our age-old duties of alerting us to intruders in our homes and protecting us from attack - to mention only two of their surviving work roles."
Desmond Morris, Dogwatching

Sorry for your loss.
