It was tough. He's been with me for almost 15 years. I can clearly remember the day we met. He was soooo teeny. He was my snuggle buddy.
He's been very healthy except for last year, so we had many happy years together. He was loyal to a fault, and so trusting. We spent his last few hours snuggling, he kissed me and I could tell by the look in his eyes the he was telling me it was ok. He had the most expressfull eyes I have ever seen in a dog. I think he was tired of being tired and frail.
It's funny how you miss the little things...the little tippy tappy of his nails on the hardwood floor, his sighing when he sleeps....last night when I woke up in the middle of the night, I rolled over and immediately thought "careful, don't wake Barq's"....but he wasn't there to wake up. <<
This sucks so much....but thru it all I am so happy for the time we had together. I'm grateful for that. He helped me thru some tough times and we had a lot of fun thru the years. He sure brought me more joy than I could ever have given back. I love you Barq's....see you later alligator!

Oh Jayne, I'm so sorry. Hugs to you, sweetie.
I've been thinking about you sweetie! Barq's was a lucky dog to have you and I know you were lucky to have him too. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I totally agree with how you miss those little things...we went through the very same thing so much at first. The little missing sounds and routines...it's hard. I hope you're hanging in there though.
Sending big, big hugs...
