Petey was a shy and sensitive dog (nonverbal, too, ironically) and he and Julie in particular loved each other deeply. If Julie was home, Petey was next to her; I was very much Petey's B Team. But if Julie wasn't around, Petey and I were play buddies, growly wrestlers and shameless dance partners. Petey left a very sad bunch of people and pooches behind him. It hit me last night that I'll never sing my "Petey Bo-Beety, the Petey Pop Pop" song to him again. He left a hole in this family that won't go away any time soon.
Goodbye, Petey. You were the sweetest and most steadfastly loyal dog ever.

Heartfelt condolences. Dogs are such deep parts of our families.
I'm so sorry to hear that Petey is gone. My tiny zoo will have some treats in his honor tonight.
