This is horribly sad.
Cathe, I can't even imagine. I have a black lab (8 yo Emma) and the very idea makes me heart hurt.
I know Dakota and Hampton are having a beautiful time together, but the ache in your lives must be tremendous.
Emma is sending over a big wet face lick right now, and I think i'll go downstairs now and give her a huge hug.
Cathe, I know you'll be strong through this, but take the time you need to grieve. My thoughts are with you all.
