I still tear up for my beloved Maggie, my last Great Dane. She was 8. My first two Danes only made it to 7. Part of the deal, knew it going in, and worth the heartache when they're gone. All my other dogs have had much longer lives, my two girls now will be with me a long while, I hope.
I am grateful for the time I had with all of them, they are a gift, and certainly, our partners.
