37. I'm sure he wasn't really blaming himself!

I really don't think dogs think that way. He was just concerned because his special human was upset, and he wanted to comfort her the only way he knew how, sweet little angel dog that he was.

I am so, so sorry for your mother's loss and hope she can find some measure of peace in the knowledge that he has been spared untold suffering and now rests comfortably in the arms of whatever kind angel is in charge of welcoming all the greatly loved beasts who have had to precede their beloved humans into the next world. There he will wait, safe and sound, for her eventual arrival. Blessings be upon him, and her, and all others who knew and loved him.
