Yep, I have always thought that we get the better end of the deal with dogs. We give them a warm bed, good food, and belly rubs, and in return, they give us their entire heart and soul.

So sorry for your loss

So sorry for your loss, I know too well that feeling of things just being "off" when they are no longer with us. They are so such a part of the daily.

I'm sure you gave her the best life!

My condolences Tom. I too had to put my dog Noodles down last week. He would have been 8 on Christmas Eve. Blessings to you and your wife in the coming year.

Oh no I’m so sorry too. Maybe Rey and Noodles will meet up somehow now.

Oh Tom. This is beautiful and heartbreaking. What a good girl. What a sad day. Holding you and Eileen and Sawyer in my heart and hugging my furry friend close. I’m so glad you found each other. ❤️

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for your loss. We have two older dogs with health issues and I wake up everyday wondering if this will be the last for one of them and I go to bed feeling blessed when it isn't. You, Eileen and Sawyer are in my thoughts.

I haven't owned a pet in years so I live vicariously through the people I follow online and their pets. Hearing stories and seeing pics and videos. So I get to see all the happy times, but that means I see the loss as well. So, so sorry for your loss.

Thank you for sharing Rey's story with us. I realize that I actually didn't know what she looked like until now. Much love to you and the family.

My condolences, sometimes I felt she was part of the show as well, (in a good way).
