I'd be a liar if I said my eyes weren't watering right now. My Australian Shepard / Lab mix (Casey) isn't even 3 years old yet and there are days I get choked up and shed a tear just thinking about the day that he isn't here. As others have said, I have seen my fair share of human death and it just gets shoved aside as part of life with a little mourning. When it comes to dogs though there's just no holding back the tears.

My deepest symapthies and condolences are with you and yours my friend!!!!
