I feel for Joe. He doesn’t really have time to grieve, and I expect many wouldn’t understand him needing it. “It’s just a dog!” many would say. He’s had so much loss in his life, and as things go, this is one of the smaller, and generally more expected losses, but it still tears at you. ---

Agreed, 100 percent. Joe’s love and loss bleeds through every word of the official statement. ---
