What a blessing Cali was/is. We are so lucky to have our dog friends and they just aren't on the earth long enough for us.
We have all got to know your dog through you. And we know Cali was special.
Cali will always be with you, and your grief will soften in time. Departure is the part of dog ownership/partnership we all dread.
Hang in there Brandon. Our hearts are with you, brother.
