I'm so sorry about your dog... I have a collie myself, and I love her so much. Thank God she's only 6. The year before I got her, I lost a 9-month -old puppy in a car accident - that was so hard, especially because my first dog that I got when I was only 8 had died only half a year before. Aren't they just a part of ones family just like a brother or sister? {{{TXSage}}}
I just lost my best cat during the holidays, we had to put him to sleep after a long cancer battle. Poor baby, he tried to hang on for soo long. I miss him terribly and think of him all the time.
He was a special spirit. I hope he returns to me one day.
