Sorry for your loss. We now have a puppy (had her 8 months now) and hopefully she will live a long and healthy life, but the thought of losing her one day is a depressing one. She’s the first dog I have had for 30 years. After I lost my last dog (and my best friend) I vowed not to have another but when I heard about our new dog having been dumped in a garden at 8 weeks old I had to give her a loving home.
