RIP. It does suck losing a long time pet. I lost my dog few years ago. He was 14. I can still remember the day we got him as a pup. He had a toomer in his stomach, and was too old to operate on, so we had to put him to sleep. My team just lost a game, and my mother calls me up with the news my dog died, so that was pretty much a really shitty day for me. Sorry for your loss, tho.
