FightOn - I am so sorry to hear that your dog has passed on. I like to think that he is waiting just across the Rainbow Bridge to join you again. Pets are family and losing them hurts. Their lives burn bright and fast.
Around BD2 my beloved elderly cat took a turn for the worse and I let him suffer for too long I think. I remember telling W that I had lost so much that I couldn't stand to lose anything more. I still clearly remember the day I held his paw as he crossed across the Bridge himself. He rests under the lilacs in the back yard now. My W never visited his grave that I know of although she kissed him goodbye before she left for work and did give me a hug. Shortly after that W moved out. I don't know but I felt that she didn't want me to face the loss of my cat alone.
This is all part of the journeys that we would travel through life normally. I remember a story about a man who was imperiled by a flood who said "I have faith that God will save me". A police man came, he turned him away saying "God will save me". A fire truck came, he turned them away. As the waters rose and he drowned and came before God he asked "why didn't you save me"? God answered, did you not see those who I sent? The moral being (in my mind) that God has given us hearts to love with, minds to think with and it is up to us to use these gifts.
Sending blessings and kind thoughts of sympathy to you.
