history: Last month, my dog Duke passed away. I got him when he was only a puppy 17 years ago. I still almost call him when I go to bed at night. Last month_comma_ my dog Duke passed away. I got him when he was just a puppy 17 years ago.
current: I'm sorry to hear about that. It sounds like, to me, that he lived a long life with you though, and that you were able to spend a lot of time with him. I'm worried for my girlfriend and what she'll do when that happens to her and her dog
next: Yeah, we did everything together. I still have to stop myself from calling him when I go to bed at night. It's amazing how close we can get to our pets.
