Khem , I as well am sorry to hear of the loss of the Mans best friend .
My mother just went through this last summer as we had to put her 6 year old Boxer to sleep for medical reasons , He had gotten cancer and it finally took its toll , sad thing is that even though the dog "thumper" went to a better place with no pain and suffering my mother was left with the same suffering and pain from the loss of her beloved friend ,her dog .
A dog , a dog doesnt care wether your in a bad mood , doesnt care about a mans financial trouble or wether you had a bad day at work , the dog doesnt care if you punch him in the face for barking ,He will always come right back to you with forgiveness and love .A dog truely is a mans best friend ,he doesnt talk back , doesnt bitch at you , and always wants to be played with regardless of the day or time of the week . Again I am sorry for your loss and keep your head up .RIP -khems dog
