Hum,
I’m sad to hear that KennyR,
At least it was quick, I suppose, and he probably had a nice life for a dog.
I have `lost` cats and dogs as well,
a young dog that ran out into the road,
a country cat that never came back, and was probably caught in a trap or poisoned, which is worse – the not knowing.
Still miss them now…
Best to just get on with things – and not dwell on it too much.
