Sorry for your loss of your dog. I know how you feel. I used to have a chocolate point siamese cat named Freddy, he and I was very close since we both were babies (We were of the same age til he died) And even though he was my grandmother's cat, he'd always be by my side.. follow me everywhere at the house, sleep with me every night. My grandmother said he wouldn't part away from me even since I was a baby. He'd sleep beside me in my crib.. He was such a sweet cat who got along with my other 2 cats just fine, especially dogs too. His best friend was a neighbor's dog which is a sheepdog.. big dog. lol I miss him sleeping beside me on the bed and following me everywhere, staying by me.. There will be no cat like him.. no cat can ever replace him. When my grandmother and I found out that he was having lung and kidney failure, he got skinny..lost a lot of weight and his vet said it is best to have him put to sleep

He was put to sleep on July '97 at age 17. My grandmother and I took it pretty hard but got over it slowly.. we will never forget our memories with him..he will always be in my heart.
