They look happy there. I am sorry for your loss.

Thank you. I have gone through this a few times and it is always rough. I took it pretty hard the last time too when my golden died. For her it was more a matter of age alone and there was a little more time to come to terms with it though.

There isn't much that I can do now. Just remember him at his best and try to function as normally as I can for the time being. The other dog on the couch, Bandit, is pretty upset too. He was taken in out of a bad home (he was kept on a crate and I think he might have been hit) and when he came to live here Buddy became like his big brother. He is pretty down so I have been trying to hang out with him.

I never saw that movie but I used to love the animated The Hobbit though. I still think that is the better adaptation looking back on those movies lol.
