I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a loyal companion like your lab is heartbreaking, especially when she’s been such a gentle, steady presence by your side. It sounds like she brought you a lot of comfort and joy, even if hunting wasn’t her thing. I’m glad you have another pup there with you now, sensing your grief and offering that velcro-like support. Dogs have such an incredible way of knowing when we need them most, and it’s clear you’ve built a bond full of love and trust.
