Oh man, so sorry to hear about the dog, condolences to all involved. It's always tough.

Had to put my 13 yo Golden, Camber down earlier this year. She got an inoperable tumor that robbed her of her mobility. Had such a devastating effect on my Mom with Alzheimer's I took Mom the next day and got an 8 week old Golden puppy, Pepper. Mom really perked up over the puppy, more alert and happier than she had been in years. But with the complications of Alzheimer's from traumatic events she followed Camber to rest a month later despite the new puppy.

Saying I miss them both is an understatement. But am filling the hole with the joy of my new buddy Pepper. She will be a whole year old on Dec 12th. We are working on her becoming a leash free dog like my first Golden was.
