My dog Duncan just passed away suddenly earlier today. I just told the vet, yesterday, about a couple of things that worried me about Duncan. Based on what I told him, and what happened it seems that he had a heart attack. My other dog, Pepper, took after Duncan’s’ lead that I’m not sure how she is going to react. Right now she won’t come to me, but that might have something to do with the crying. I will upload a couple of pictures, maybe tomorrow. I don’t know if I can deal with it now. Goodbye little buddy, I already miss you. ---

My heart is breaking into a million pieces for you and Pepper. 😢 The suddenness is so excruciating… ---

Here is Duncan giving me kisses.

I once let him go for about 30 minutes before I had to stop him. And here is a couple of pictures of Duncan with Pepper.

We are both still out of sorts. ---

I am so sorry you lost your beloved companion. Pepper, too. I thought of you both again today as I was driving behind a vehicle with a bumper sticker that read, “I kissed a dog and I _liked it_.” I hope you can one day remember all those kisses with sweetness and much less pain. ---
