[on fire]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, we have them for such a short time and they are such an intrical part of our lives. I've had Rotties since 1978 and have lost many of them, most had to be put down. Two weeks ago I lost a perfectly healthy, entergetic, playful, 10 yo male, who simply went to the front door laid down & died. No warning or indication that anything was wrong. I can't tell you how much I miss him and wish I could have been with him, holding him when he died. I'm thankful for the awesome memories of cuddling with him the day before he passed and knowing that he knew how special he was & how much I loved him. I know you have many memories of time with your dog, take the time to write down everything you can remember about him & put it in an album with his photos. I've done this with all of my dogs and whenever I look at the albums & read the stories, it make me laugh & cry to remember the special unique traits that each one of them had. My thoughts are with you.
