My dog Ollie died today and we just got in from the funeral in our backyard. Ann and I got Ollie in 1996 so we had him for almost five years before either of our kids were born. We'll really miss him. Ollie (1995-2011 R.I.P)

Sorry to hear about Ollie, Rob. No doubt they become full-fledged members of the family. I still look for our schnauzer just about every time we come home, and we lost him 3 years ago now.

Thanks Doug. Seriously bummed out kids this evening. Abby made a very cool tombstone for him. Don't know where she got the rock but it looks really authentic. Put a couple treats in with him. Went around in a circle talking about our favorite memories.The kids decided he was sitting on the couch in heaven with grandpa watching the Rays game.

Sorry to hear it Rob. Now that I have a dog again after 20 years without one, it's hard to imagine her missing.

So sorry to hear that -- this is the second time in a week I have had a friend had their dog pass away -- Glad I got to meet and make friends with Ollie this past February. Sweet dog.

Sorry to hear about Ollie, our thoughts are with your family.

RIP, Ollie.

Here's to all of the wonderful memories. :)
