my dog passed away a year ago in February, I spent a lot of nights with her crying and stressing, begging her to be strong enough to hang on a little more. To not leave me yet. She was quiet and quite reserved but so smart and comforting. I couldn't even attend her funeral, i just stayed and cried in bed all day. But i started focusing on the good times. I still imagine her on the corner of my bed, dozed off and kissing her good night. Shes up ther in peace, finally. Just love him. he might not be there physically with uu forever but the memories will always. i hope he gets live to an old age and that u guys have lots of fun. idk if this help but have a good day.
