I went to this post and found myself crying prior to making it to page 2. There truly isn't anything on this planet that will love you unconditionally like a dog.
I have never lost a dog, but I do own three that have stolen my heart. I'm not looking forward to the day I have to say my final farewell to any of them.
I am happy that you have a replacement. (Hide the shoes!!!!!) I know you'll always remember the great times you had with Sonny! And I would love to believe, as Jimbog said, he'll be the first to greet you when you cross over to the other side!
