I loved you snoopy...from the moment i met you and you were so scared and nervous and your nails scratched the hardwood floor and ill love you until the day i die.
why would god take him from u ??? what ??? he is a dog
13 is a really good age for dogs, i'm sure he had a full and happy life with you guys
sorry that you weren't there for him though - i was at uni when my dog died and felt awful that i wasn't there to say goodbye so understand how you feel :(
just take comfort in the fact that the rest of your family were with him and he lived knowing you all loved him x
