history: My dog just died. I'm in shock.  I've had my dog for 15 years and he just died. I don't know what I will do without him. 
current: This happened to us last spring. Our dog was 8 years old. It can be a very emotional time but it gets better over time. Have you thought about creating a memorial for him? Maybe a photo collage to hang.
next: I don't know I really haven't even thought about it yet. I'm still dealing with it.
