Dear Duke, I can't find words to express how much your sweet face has added to the pleasure of being here at Pet Talk. You were a good dog , Duke, and the relationship you had with Val was something to behold. Unfortunately she will miss you and grieve for you all the more because of how dear you were to her. You were one of those dogs we really seemed to get to know and we will miss you too.

Val, I do believe many of us here really do understand the hole in your heart. Sometimes it feels unbearable and that the joy of life will never be the same. Yet, somehow, some way we move on and other joys come, but never quite the same. The wounded heart will heal though. Please know that there are so many of us out here thinking about you and you have come to the right place to share your memories.
