history: My family is always there for me. When my dog died, they flew out and spent time with me for a quick weekend trip.  My family is so supportive. They even flew out when my last dog passed away and spent some time with me to make me feel better.  Aww_comma_ that is very nice of them. i just had to put mine down a few weeks ago.
current: I'm so sorry to hear that. What kind of breed was your dog? 
next: Border Collie. Yours?
