Hello,
I lost my Clea 2 weeks today. She was 15 and it happened suddenly. I though I had at least another year since she was doing so good. I'm having a very hard time with it. She was my best friend and the best dog in the world. I got her ashes back. I'm doing okay now but have my moments when I cry for her. I can't believe I will never see her again well at least in this life. I'm depressed and miss her so much. I feel your pain, this is hard. I even adopted another dog right away which helps but I miss her terribly.
