I am very sorry to hear you lost your beloved dog. She obviously had a very long and happy life with you, and will live on in your heart.

My sympathy on your loss of Dallas. She looked like a grand old lady, and how fortunate you were to have 15 1/2 years with her. I hope those memories bring you comfort.

Loosing any of them is tragic. But loosing one that has been with you that long is even worse. So sorry about your loss.

Dallas has given your boys years of wonderful memories. She will be the dog that all other dogs are compared to - even when your son's are old. So sorry to hear of your loss, it is never easy.

I'm so sorry to hear of your family's loss. It's never easy to let such a good friend go, and especially one who's been with you so long. Hugs.
