I am so sorry for your loss of Kernel. They are so stoic, bearing so much pain, but still let us know when it is time. It's then that we come the closest to showing them the unconditional love they show us every day.

Know that he loved and trusted you right to the end, and knew that you loved him. You've got a wonderful Rottie angel watching over you. Treasure your memories, and in time, perhaps he will send you another Rottie to share your life with.
