I’m so sorry for you both, **Brodi** and **cochrane** , and for what may be coming **ThelmaLou**.

When I read these stories I think of my dog Nathan. He’s only six, but still, even if I have another eight or so years with him, it’s starting to look short.

I wish I knew if we get to meet beloved pets in the afterlife.

So sorry to hear. I lost my dog (bone cancer) a year ago and just got a new one. I hope when you are ready, you will open your home to another dog who needs you.
