This news is very upsetting. My sister had two King Charles Spaniels and they were so very personable and intelligent that they really became members of the family. One of them actually prevented the house from burning down, and both of them could call "911" thanks to voice dialing.
Both doggies passed away within a year of each other. It saddened all of us. My son even planted a memorial garden in their honor.
The good news is, that my sister has just adopted 2 more King Charles spaniels and we're looking forward to the joy of having puppies around.
Hang in there. I know what you're going through.
