Out brave candle.

Roly is dead. He died as he was born, on my lap.
If there are no dogs in in Heaven, then let me go where they go.

    They're always worth the price though, my condolences on your loss.

  9. I'm so sorry for your loss. I never had the chance to meet him in real life, but your words and pictures made him live online, and it was clear what a precious gift he was to you all.

  12. Roly was a grand lad. I have no doubt the pain of separation will linger, but I also know that he was loved in life beyond measure.

    Know that me and mine are thinking of you and yours as you struggle through.

  13. Thank you all. I haven't the strength to reply one by one, but I hope we gave him one tenth of the love and loyalty we gave him. He was one of a kind, and the model for 'Stardogs', Faithful, loving and giving to very end. A joyous gullumphing affectionate loyal hound who spent as much of his time as possible with 'his' humans I did not deserve such a friend. I will miss him always.

  15. And I saw a rainbow bridge, and at the base of it was the dogs and cats and other pets that had shared my life and had gone before me. They were young and healthy, and they came joyously to me....
