The silence in my house reminds me that I was never alone, even though there were times when it felt like it. Not while my battle buddy was there to stick a cold nose on my shins when I least expected it, or snuggle contentedly in my lap as I dozed on the sofa in the evenings.
Or steal my blankets.
There is nothing worse than a cold, wet nose on your shins. Except, perhaps, wishing you could feel that icy cold nose just one more time.
Cassandra, over at Villainous Company, has suffered a loss of a family member.
There's plenty of steak and blankets to steal at Piddler's Green, Sausage. You'll have new friends - Mojo, Little Girl, Shadow, Ninja, Bella, Sadie, Rest Stop, Gabby, Mickey, Sebastian, Little Guy, Whiskey... and others. They'll show you where the good spots are to score a steak from the guys at Fiddler's Green, and who knows how to do a proper tummy rub or who plays a good game of tug-o-war..
They'll show you where the Watching Spot is, so that, every now and then, when your Family is asleep, you can watch -- and if you're very careful, you can lick an ear so softly, they'll think they only dreamed it...
Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when wedance sing a soul to the Great Hunting Ground and Tennis Ball Chasing Facility at Piddler's Green

An honor roll to beat all honor rolls. May their souls rest in peace and may there be steak bones and plenty of squirrels to chase.
Thank you, John.
Silence can be deafening. My condolences, Cass.
I just glued 'em together.
He was such a manly dog - he filled every day with joy. It does my heart great good to see him remembered.
I'd be lost with Huck, so I can only imagine what your feeling
I hope it gets better, and at least he's not feeling pain and he's with good company aye
I know thousands of people I would gladly see go Tango Utah before the lowliest dog.

What else can be said but "baroooOOOOOooooo"?
A fine and noble Sausage Dog.Sorry, Cass.
Here's to companions one day reunited. Til then faithful friend!
So sorry to learn of it, Cass.
Here’s the words that comforted my wife when we lost our beloved dog “Fudgey”, who was my wife’s protector. Life is not complete without a dog.

She is my dog
She is my other eyes that can see above the clouds;
My other ears that hear above the winds.
She is the part of me that can reach out into the seas.
She has told me a thousand times over that I am her reason for being.
By the way she rests against my leg.
By the way she thumps her tail at my smallest smile.
By the way she shows her hurt when I leave without taking her.
When I am wrong, she is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, she clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, she is joy abound.
When I am a fool, She ignores it.
When I succeed, she brags.
Without her, I am only another person.
With her, I am all powerful.
She has promised to wait for me…whenever…
In case I need her; and I expect I will—
As I always have.
She is my dog.
