OMG mrssal....I feel for you, I just lost my dog monday afternoon and I'm still inconsolable ... I until having read your post, didn't felt enough courage to post it here.
My Saturn was 15 years old and he was the best friend I ever had. I don't know his real birth date but it was in 10/89
It was a nice and intelligent dog, very sensitive...
We sadly had to pique him down as he was suffering to much and since 2 days he was not able to stand up alone anymore...
Maybe he will meet your Bosco...I hope so!
May they rest in peace and be thanked for all the unconditionnal love they gave us...
This was my sweet Saturn :
