I’m so sorry. What a good boy he was.
So, so sorry, Jan. Your heart must be breaking.
A very good dog who live a very good life. I miss all of mine from the earliest to the the most recent.
So sorry to hear he’s gone, but what a life he led.
Thank you – you’re right. He had some adventures.
By all accounts he was a good dog, and that’s the mark to which all dogs aspire.
I’m so sorry, Jan.
Always hurts.
