I lost my dog best friend of 13 years today. [View all]

My toy poodle Nike stumbled off the bed this morning and died within a few minutes. The doctors said his heart probably went.

So far I've only told my boss and this forum. I had trimmed up the hair on his paws and face yesterday evening before we went to bed, and his hair is still here in a sack.

It's the strangest thing in the world that as I lie down I'm not grabbing him to snuggle. I took pictures of the mess he made with his water and food bowl... Pictures of his toys scattered around the house.

This is so strange. I love him so much. Thank you for reading. Thank you thank you.
