We lost our Boxer 16 months ago and our house is still filled with reminders of him. My wife has kept the chair that he'd claimed as a bed in our bedroom since and still won't let me clean it or throw it away (it's not suitable for human use any longer haha). This might be too personal but we'd both mash the cushions from time to time to get a whiff of his smell. I wish I could make that sound less creepy. I found one of his chewed up golf balls under the deck the other day and couldn't help but laugh, he was never much of a fetcher, but he did love stealing my golf balls, had a taste for Pro V1's too I think because they were softer...
It's amazing the bond we have with our pets and it's a bloody shame they can't stay with us forever, cherish those memories though.
