So sorry to read about this. My cat died a few weeks ago and it broke my heart. But, like your dog, he had some health issues. My dog was devastated too...wouldn't eat for a few days, wouldn't get off the couch. Tells you how important animals are to each other, as well as to us.

Remember the good times you had together and how happy you made Tess for years and years. That's what she's thinking, I'm sure.
