Sorry about your loss. 14 years is how long two of my dogs have lasted. I hope the two I have now live at least that long, but they're never with us long enough.
Thank you. Yes he was with me longer than any other dog and died suddenly last Christmas the day after my nephew was born. Such a bittersweet time. He got out of my sister's house while we were at the hospital and wandered into a busy road. I've got 2 others but he was my only friend for a long time.
