I know exactly how you feel. It's been a year and a half since I had to post in this thread, and even though I still have our other dog, our first puppy that passed away was exactly as you describe and I still miss him. He was my wife's birthday present from me shortly after we started dating and came through the same milestones with us. It hurts, but is gets better with time of course and the memories are happy.
