I am sorry for your loss.

In the end of the day this is something we all have to deal with. The important thing is our pets live good lives and feel loved. It is always hard when I lose one, but when I look back years later and think of the 10+ years we shared together, it feels like an absolutely happy story.

Take good care of Bowie.
