For Pace40 and all other dog lovers here...If it didn't hurt when we lost our faithful companion, then we wouldn't have cared.
The pain of a loss will subside, but the good memories of one we loved will go on forever. (Sometimes, I think the good Lord meant it to be that way)
So to sort of move around the words a bit....."It is not good for man to live alone"...Man was meant to have a good dog beside him.
Best wishes Pace, for you and your new companion, Max.
