He was a very dumb dog, but we loved him. He was 10 years old and we’ve had him since he was a puppy. His name was [Boone.](http://groups.msn.com/Mamabearsstuff/boone.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=60)

Dumb dogs are the bestest, they love you the most.

I’m really sorry for you loss. But he’s only gone if you forget him and you never will trust me.

Those who say dogs don’t have souls  
either never had a dog  
or never had a soul.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your family member.

The loss of a pet is a deep sadness. Nothing that I can say will make it less so, none the less, know that you are in my thoughts. Sending warm thoughts your way.

My Zeke died six months ago. I still expect to see her at the door every time I get home.

You gave Boone the best life you could give him; never forget the happy days with him.
