Cats and dogs--they find those holes in our hearts and fill those holes with roots that grow deeper and stronger as the years roll by. No matter how well anticipated their demise might be, the actual loss is devastating beyond reason. Some ancient Roman once offered that it's a good thing dogs do not live as long as men, since the pain felt by the dog's death is so acute after just a few year that it would be unbearable and drive men to suicide if a dog lived for 30 years.

While there are no words that can sooth the pain, I hope you both know that you have a bunch of us who mourn with you.
