I’m so sorry, Downtoearth, that must have been truly awful for you. You each had a true friend in the other and enriched each other’s lives. That is all any of us can ask - that we enrich the lives of others. Be kind to yourself💐.

How dreadful and heartbreaking for you to have found him. You sound like you had a really lovely friendship and hopefully, in the fullness of time, you will take comfort from those wonderful memories.
Sending gentle thoughts to you

So sorry, downtoearth. You would have been a wonderful friend to Jim.

So sorry to hear of this. Thinking of you and your friend.

Annsixty Jim had a beautiful just 2year old fox red Lab,I went with him to choose her,fortunately I was able to ask the family that still have her mum and sister if they could help,they arranged for her to be kept in the family circle, she will live on a farm and be well loved once more,it was the last thing I could do for him to make sure his beloved girl was looked after.

I’m so sorry, downtoearth what an awful shock and loss.
