Canine Soulmates

I too lost my beautiful Springer Spaniel, Ralph. He died last year 5th November 2011 at age 14. Like your Maple he too told me he was ready and it was time. I wasn't ready and I still grieve for my boy most days. We saved each other and we had such a string bond we both knew what the other was thinking. I take a little comfort knowing he is no longer suffering or in pain. I think we replace their suffering for ours. He definitely took a piece of me with him when he died, it changed me beyond words. I miss him so much but I know he would want me to give another dog a home one day. I will do that in his honor. As much as losing him hurts I would go through it all again to have another 13 years with him.
I can only hope that one day, after that final goodbye, there will be another hello.
My thoughts are with you.
