The best one in the world has moved onto another life. Gonna miss you Tetley, and will never forget you. Over sixteen and a half years you taught me the meaning of what it was to be a best friend, to nurture and care for something. You inspired me and gave me a reason to wake up on the darkest and most difficult of days. And you were a hell of a copilot, who didn't just enjoy car rides, but would lean into turns. There will never be another on like you.

The Power of the Dog.  Rudyard Kipling

THERE is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find - it's your own affair, -
But ... you've given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!),
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone - wherever it goes - for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear!

We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent,
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve;
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long -
So why in - Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

Sorry to hear this Captain---- I lost my buddy Rufus a couple of months ago.  He had a good run of 13 years.  I completely know what you are going through, and it sucks.   It's worth it......but it sucks.
