My little girlfriend, Bailey, died a few weeks ago. She was a beautiful ball of fur...not too bright...but very loving.
She looks like she was a bright little light, even if she wasn't as smart as all get out. Do you "see" her out of the corner of your eye? Do you "hear" her running around? For me there always seems to be these transition times for saying final goodbyes. They bring me both pleasure and pain. Endings are hard. But memories are wonderful.
Bailey was one of my in-law's dogs (thusly she was my girlfriend and not my dog). However she as I had a pretty tight canine / human bond. I think her primary human was actually a bit jealous of her affection for me.

Best wishes, Ken.

Or maybe I just wanted there to be jealousy. :-)
It's nice that you and she had such a close connection. I take connections like that wherever I can find them, canine and human.
