So much love to Katy, and to your corgi spaniel mix who's already gone. There's nothing like an old dog, is there? They know something else about life, and the old soul moniker doesn't even cover it. Honestly I enjoyed my girl's older days the most. People go for the puppies because they know an older dog will break their hearts sooner, but the truth is tha every dog will break your heart eventually. They're just not made to stay as long as we are.
