So heart breaking when a much loved companion and family member passes. I lost my appaloosa stallion best friend last year after 33 years together. I still tear up when I look at his picture in my study. A part of you will always feel like it's missing. It's really not missing, It's the part of you that belonged to Rex and he took it with him. God blesses us with our animal companions so I can't imagine a heaven where we won't be united again. Our prayers are with you.
