:Hello,

:I'm the saddest I have ever been in my life. I can't stop crying over the loss of my dog Charlie. He meant everything to me. He was 13 years old. He did have artritis but test turned out that everything else was good. I laid on the floor with him while he was sleeping Saturday and he woke up and gave me the usually million kisses. Then I started fixed supper and I went to play with him while supper was cooking and I found him laying in his spot but he was dead. I don't know if I will ever ever stop crying or if I will eat again. He was by best friend. I never had kids so to me he was what a child is to a parent.

:Thanks for listening....

:Kim

Hi Kim. Your boy slipped away in his sleep - a most peaceful start to his journey. He will wait for you to join him. There will never be another Charlie, but maybe there will be another dog who needs your love out there. I have had really special animals over the years who stole my heart entirely and took a piece with them when they died. A couple of times I swore I would not have another animal, the pain of loss was so great. But a loving heart needs company and someone to love....so I open my heart over and over.
