Kay I totally understand how you feel. I hope you take comfort knowing that a lot of us would love a chance to have our dogs as young as 7 again. Sadie is 12 now and I despise the fact that I have to work all day away from her.
When I get upset and start thinking too much I focus my attention on Sadie and remind myself to be happy and enjoy every minute I can with her. Our dogs are not with us nearly long enough so we must make an extra effort to etch each moment deep in our memory. Taking many pictures is important too but I think you have that covered! I don't want you to think back one day and be sorry that you were sad at a time you should have been happy.
My rambunctious 12 year old is barking at me now as though she's telling me to practice what I preach. Please don't be too sad but I understand that sometimes you can't help it.
