This might be the quote Phil referred to. Audrey bought me this when we lost Gunner and it hangs on the wall in the gun room. it's hard to believe that he's been gone 3 1/2 years.
" It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are". Anonymous
Just to top it off she left a note as if it were from Gunner on the back
