Sallie, I’m so deeply sorry for the loss of Charlie! It’s been 3 years since I had to put both of my labs ( Lily & Lanie ) to sleep ( 8 months of each other). Charlie was beautiful! He had a wonderful life! They certainly take a piece of our hearts with them when they go!💔 pic.twitter.com/X4DaxEOGPR

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know it is devastating. It’s been almost 3 months for me now & I still cry A LOT. That is why your story was so touching. 🐶 are the best. My husband thought a new puppy would help. They do but u never forget the ❤️ of your other. Here is Pippa. pic.twitter.com/yFJ73AqJYi
