the dog i grew up with died a few years ago . i was really sad about it . aaawww , i 'm sorry you had to go through that yeah i do n't live near home any more so i was n't able to say goodbye . losing a pet is always pretty hard . it is really hard to deal with especially if you are n't nearby . sounds like you really miss your sweet beast !
The death of the beloved dog they grew up with caused the feeling of devastation.
