So sorry for your loss. As many others have expressed it can be really tough when we lose a canine companion. A little over three years ago I lost my Hannah, a beautiful black/tan long-haired dachshund, who was also sixteen years old. I rescued her from a shelter when she was only two years old because......her "family" was going to have a baby. I'll never understand how some folks think pets are just expendable on a whim. Anyway, Hannah was my loyal, loving companion for many years and of course I still miss her to this day. I had her cremated, and she now occupies a space on my nightstand where I still say goodnite to her, every night.
