For about 2 weeks when I shut down for the night, I still said, "Night, night boy...see you in the morning...I love you".

I've had 14 dogs in my adult life, and I've now lost 7 of them. As each one has passed it hasn't got any easier. But one thing I've recently discovered is that, when it's all over, cremation is the best route. How I wish I'd come to that conclusion earlier - I wouldn't then have dogs buried in the gardens of houses which we no longer own.
But at least Pickle and Boots can always be with me. I look to my left and I see their pictures on the wall. I look to my right, and I can reach out and touch the two boxes containing their ashes. And every night, as I go to bed, I pat the boxes and say "Goodnight mates."
Thankfully I've still got seven dogs to keep me company on my journey, and I love them all to bits.
