Aww that's just sad! I know what they must be going through. My folks were devastated when the passing of one of their West Higland (Westie) Terrier passed away last Fall. Jenna looked alot like this one:
They now have two young dogs, one a Westie and the other a Corgi. They're like two young boys in many ways. They've been having a blast with the 9 feet of snow we've had this winter. They dig and climb all over the snow. LOL
My Cairn Terrier (think Toto) is almost 14....not too much longer I am afraid.
