If I learned anything from the dogs in my life--it is that one needs to treasure every single day. We may take the humans in our lives for granted sometimes, but our time with our beloved dogs and other pets is so compressed that there is no room for that. My anger melts when I look into my misbehaving pup's face or realize that there is a real need behind the inconvenient insistent wee-hours wakening from my now-aged girlie.
Seeing those photos, I'm sure you feel that way too and your good memories with Koda will sustain you through the pain.
I'm sorry, but also happy that your family experienced the best of a loving dog. Be with my beloved dogs who have passed before you, Koda.
