Lost my best friend last night

I think this is good therapy for me. And good for all of you since you all have been down this road road before. I like reading about your experiences(not the passing away parts). And '67 you are right.
"I have read that dogs are the only animal that loves their owner more then themselves".
Also I don't know if I can get another dog just yet. I know some of you say to get one. We all have a lot of love to give to an animal as they return it back.
Our vet came to our house and put him to sleep. Then a couple came and picked him up. We should get his ashes back in about a week.
We put a photo of Brody with his collar hanging off the picture frame and two candles on our front lawn so the neighborhood would know. He was an institution around here and everybody knew him so we figured this would be the best way to let everyone know instead of being asked all the time where he was. We never thought people would leave things there. Someone left a bottle of Gentleman jack there last night. Other left hawaiian lei's. I will take it down when the candles burn out.
Thanks again you guys. You are the best.
