On Monday the time came when we had to say goodbye to our dog Corey. We have had him for 15 years and he has been the best friend anyone could have to myself, hubby and two children. He has been ill for quite a while but has managed to carry on in his own way and we had been assured by the vet that he was not in any pain, so we kept him as long as we could. Unfortunately he took a turn for the worst and on Monday evening the decision had to be made to put him to sleep. I am devastated, he is missed so much and I know the pain will get easier, but it is so hard to imagine life without him. As you can imagine the tears keep flowing (sometime uncontrolably) and the house seems to empty. I know that others have been through this, as I have read on here before, but it is so very hard to come to terms with. We all miss him so much!!!
