My sis called me today and told me one of the family dogs has died. I loved him to bits. :-(
Sorry dude - I know how that feels. Our old family dog, nothing special (to anybody but us), a brindle mongerel passed away at the ripe old age of 17 a few years back. I was about 5 or 6 when we got him and doted on him.
Even though I knew he was getting really old, I no longer lived at home (was at Uni at the time) and didnt see him as much, I was really gutted.
Within a few months, the other dog (actually my brothers) got ill and ultimately had to be put to sleep. My folks were a bit hard up that particular time and I had to pay for the final vet bill. Signing it felt like signing a death warrant for an old friend. It was awful :-(
