God bless you and her. I still dream about and talk to my boxer who passed in 2013. We had to agonize over the decision for several days because we were both jello. We both dug the hole to bury him in our front yard, planting a confederate rose on top of his grave. Every time I walk past the site I ask “Who does Mother love?” He will always be in my/our hearts. Reach out to us, early and often; you will need your fam.
