Spot, so sorry for your loss. Our Clancy is thirteen and Jason and I are dreading the day when he leaves us. But for now, we enjoy every day we have with him.

I lost a terrier four years ago, and one thing that helped me was to write down all the great things about him. It helps a little with the grief at the time, and is nice to read later, after the pain subsides a bit. Hugs from a fellow dog lover.
