Dog,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Pets are truly members of the family and I know / understand what you are going through. A few years back, I lost a cat named Jake after 5 years. I was the one who found him. I know nothing is going to take your mind off of your buddy, however, try and think of the great life you and Wendy gave him. It may have been short in a linear sense, but knowing you, I'll bet he had more joyous experiences and love than most.
God bless. You're in my prayers.
Steve B.
