I was directed here from a similar thread I started.
My beautiful boxer dog died today. She was an old girl and she was ill, so I don't feel anger. In a way, I'm glad she isn't suffering any more, but I am completely devastated. I miss her already, and the thought of life without her, after 10 years, makes me cry. My best advice for everyone here is to try and focus on the good times. I have 10 years of hilarious and heart warming memories that will never leave me, and because of this, my loyal and loving Crotchet will never truly leave either.
