No matter how many times I hear of a friend losing a pet, it breaks my heart.

You gave Whisper the last great token of love you can give a pet. Let them go when the right time arrives.

I've been there many times, and always hurts.

I am like you. When I get to the Rainbow Bridge, I hope to be trampled in the stampede.

Give it some time and remember there is another dog out there that will be more than happy to assume the duties of taking care of you.
