Dear Spot...So sorry to hear this. It is their only fault, as far as I'm concerned. They don't live long enough. I've loved all my dogs to distraction, still miss every one that's gone, pray for long and vital lives for the 3 I've got left. I hope you can eventually get another dog, not as a replacement, there is no such thing, but because they are such wonderful companions. Take care of yourself--it's a huge loss.
