Welcome to Pet Talk, Kelli

Absolutely right , they are never"just" dogs or cats. Sorry you joined us on such a sad note. I liked the pic of your dogs, I'm thinking Buff was the one on the floor, the dark one? Right? They're both gorgeous anyway. If you don't know it already, check out one of Pet Talks very special links :

You are a very dedicated and special person and both your doggies know it. I hope you find consolation having a peek at the Rainbow Bridge but you can't visit it properly until it's time (you know). Buff Wuff will be there waiting for you, meanwhile he is playing and dozing in the sun, he has no cough or illness, he is well fed and happy except he is missing you but he knows you will be together again one day so he's just making the most of the sunshine and flowers and new friends meantime.

It's important to grieve. It's part of loving and living, and it's very healing to cry. Take care.
