Sorry to hear of Whoop's passing Jim. I'm just back from a holiday to the States & our family dog "Cindy" had to be put to sleep whilst I was away.
I'm a 40 year old man but my eyes were red & weepy whilst walking around Cape Cod ; ( She was 17. A rescue mutt & I still miss her.
All I can say is that my family & I gave her all we had & she did the same for us.
My folks have had her cremated & I'll be there when they bury her urn next to "Mandy" ~ her friend.
Those Dawgs are truley "Man's Best Friends" !!

Kind Regards, Robert
