conv: When my dog died_comma_ I felt lost. I also felt like I just let him live when I should have put him down due to his health. My dog died a few years ago after I had my son.  It was right around Christmas and I had the dog for fourteen years. Im sorry to hear that. I have never had a dog. What was your experience of the dog? The dog was there with my throughout my life. He saw me through boyfriends and friends. I am really sorry to hear that. What was the dogs name?
