Bittersweet it definitely is - way more than sad. It actually does my heart good to read stories such as this, because I know that the dog was very much loved and well taken care of, or it wouldn't have reached such a wonderful old age.

I'm just overly sensitive and the tears come on easily - with Myndi being so old and also having lost Sparky only a few months ago. As Steve Arnold said in his post: "so much of that article hits so close to home".

I really wish sometimes that I wasn't such a big softie........
