Been without a dog since 19th august, And I can say its not easier. I keep finding her toys, expecting a snore, or bumping into her. Her name was Dizzy, she moved in with my girlfriend. I had her in my life for about 11-12 years, I never expected to like a small dog. Im used to big ones, Borzoi. Not small shihtzus that disappeared in the northern snow, but damn she really took me by storm. After a while she was more my dog than my GF, and I loved her.She turned 14, sadly cancer had other plans.
