I too am sorry for your loss, Iron. If you both gave much to each other, then it was a good and worthwhile relationship. These times are never easy, but talking (or typing) definitely helps and certainly don't withold any emotions, just let them out.
My own dark times, the darkest of my life, were made so much better by a very special friend. In fact, I may not be here if it wasn't for her. Her picture is there for me to see every day. It sounds like your dog was very special to you too and I'm sure you will never forget her :).
