I'm so very sorry about your loss. You did a wonderful, unselfish thing. I don't think you ever really get over it. When our good boy, big dog George died I cried for days. Every time I thought about him I cried. Then one day I thought about him and didn't cry.....instead I smiled. His memory was so dear to me and he still brings me joy. Cody will always be alive in your memories.....keep them near and dear to you.
