That night, my wife called me out from the den where I was watching tv to tell me that Shadow must really be tired because she fell asleep in the hallway. I took one look and knew she wasn't sleeping, but that she had died. I just can't believe how much I miss that little dog. She was old and more than just a little bit grouchy sometimes, but she tried her best and she always had a tail wag and a kiss for me, even after I would yell at her for something. She knew she had me wrapped around her little paw. Now that the immediate pain is beginning to ease, I wonder if I will ever get used to the way the house feels without her.

I am so sorry. It is remarkable, the mutual love and admiration that pets and their people share with each other. It hurts so much to loose them.
I'm sending a virtual hug and my deep sympathy.
