Mine died on August 6th 2006...I think of him every day since and even though I have 2 new dogs He is always in my mind. Now and then I shed a couple tears but finally I have been able to remember him and smile. I love my wife (We do not have any kids yet) and my parents, but COBI was everything to me. I wished he would have died the way yours died. In my case I killed him by accident and he died doing what he loved the most (Riding in our boat) a very tragic event that gets replayed in my mind time after time. I do find comfort in the fact that I made every effort to give him the best life I could. I do hope that I see him one day. I feel your pain...even though nobody's words will subside it. Time will heal you and you will finally find peace. Let your emotions flow cry if you need, scream if you need....every time I shed a tear or screamed while driving I felt a little less pressure inside of me. And by theway getting another companion/s does help although will never be the same.
