Irish..

I believe.. that animals are rewarded.. once they have lived a life of giving unconditional love... they go on to a much better place.. I know that this isn't easy for you.. and you will miss him... and he will leave an empty spot in your life.. but he has done his job.. and obviously well.. he has loved you and now deserves his ultimate happiness...

Not to get "religious" on anyone.. but I believe that just as you are reunited with those you love when you reach heaven.. you will also find your loyal friend...
