Re: [VFB] Lost my beloved dog and fishing partner Peanut today after nearly 15 yrs.
Oh Chuck, I am so sorry for the loss of your fourlegged furbaby. She did, indeed, have a most wonderful life in your care and you can take comfort in the many super memories you have of her in your life.

Chuck Sorry about the passing of Peanut. I know how deeply a dog can dig its way into one's heart. They are the truest of friends, enriching our lives in so many ways.

Losing a pet is not understood by those who don't have pets of their own. It's heart-wrenching. My thoughts are with you.
