In the last seven years....
2013.... Sparky, a little 8lb Jack Russel mix, 13 yo
2014.... Blue, a mini-weiner dog, 15 yo
2016.... Tarna, the heeler mutt in my avatar, best dog I'll ever own, 14 yo
2019.... Dakota, a heeler x stumpy tailed cattle dog mix, 14 yo
...and now Cloudy...
We outlive our dogs its true, but they take whole eras of our lives with them.
They do indeed, it is cruel, but for every faithful hound I've laid in the carefully dug hole, I do not regret it, the time we did spend together was beyond great, and if that's all there is, well, then that's it. A dog's love is worth the sorrow in the end, it absolutely is.
That said, my condolences on the passing of your gal, 8 years is too soon.
All the best...
